Re: Happy Reading

Holy Cow! It's especially interesting that the begin the document by ASSuming that there is a "Climate Emergency" - as a given fact. No doubt as to what the (less than) hidden agenda is for this group...
 
Re: Happy Reading

My personal favorite:

"Converting City Council meals to meatless only with limits on dairy."
 
Re: Happy Reading

Runner-Up:

"Increase the price of residential parking permits, with an annual increase every year for the

next 20 years. Charge extra for SUVs and other gas?guzzling vehicles."
 
Re: Happy Reading

The name of the organization wrong; I'ts not Cambridge Climate College; it's Cambridge Climate Elementry School.

"III. Green Infrastructure (pg. 11).

(b) The workshop could also train volunteers in each area to evaluate energy use in residences and have them knock on their neighbors' doors to offer free energy?efficiency evaluations. This would cost little and allow for social marketing at a neighborhood level, as well as introduce neighbors to one another thus increasing community. In low?income areas, the volunteers could be paid."

This is the type of crap that major Universities are teach students; in place of how to make a living.

The "Far Left" has left the planet. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pass the Pot, please.

I thought we fought WWII to defeat Fascism?

Since they want everyone riding bicycles it will be quite a sight to see us septuagenarians tottering around on two wheels, to say nothing of all the octogenarians.

They will probably allow 3 wheelers for older folks, even though the extra tire will contribute to the carbon footprint. But, then they will balance that by requiring unicycles for anyone under 49 or less. It all will work for the collaborative. :cry:
 
Re: Happy Reading

Well they will have to pry may cold dead hand from the thermostat after the next two feet of snow! :lol:

Next they will be evaluating how much fuel a fire engine consumes while fighting a fire! That will go over big with the fire guys! Yes guy and gals its coming! Green fire engines that run on solar or maybe bio-fuel. Don't forget to fill the tank with tomatoes before you leave the station.

Maybe to save fuel the firemen can ride bikes to the fire. Many benefits with this. Fuel savings, Green transportation and health benefits! :mrgreen:
 
Re: Happy Reading

To reuse one of my favorite quotes, I was so pleased by all of this that I went out and burned some old tires in my back yard.

Every time I read nonsense like this, I let my big V-8 SS idle a little longer as it sits in my driveway before I take it out and tear up the streets on a pretty Saturday morning...
 
Re: Happy Reading

Those fools in Cambridge should get some really smart people involved...

Even though there probably isn't, just maybe there's someone from MIT or Harvard living in their community who could weigh in on the issue in an informed way.
 
Re: Happy Reading

Actually, some of the suggestions aren't too bad and they can probably get stimulus money for implementing some (like weatherization). I've never been to Cambridge, but I work in DC.. which has a zip car program and last year implemented sort of a "zip bike" program. There's nothing wrong with having a more walkable community.

Eliminating the no right turn on red is a pretty good idea. People will get the idea that they actually need to wait for the oncoming traffic before they execute the turn. Sitting at lights when I want to turn right, but can't is a pet peeve of mine. Let me turn and continue on. Not driving is not an option I really have... it isn't a convenience for me (but it is for many).

Like so many of this type of documents, the bottom line is buried.

Ya, those "really smart" Harvard alums always weigh in with the appropriate measured response to environmental issues, don't they?
