Save the Planet: ‘Green’ Up Your St. Patrick’s Day

A silly Huffington Post article says do your part to save our planet from CO2 Monsters by ‘Green’ing up your St. Pats Day partying. Of course, this got a few responses in conservative circles including this one from the website The Powers That Be:

(Referring to the article: Green Your St. Patrick’s Day Partying)
To save you a click, the six things you can do are 1) drink local beer, 2) don’t throw anything away, 3) eat vegan, 4) have a clothing swap party, 5) no lights, and 6) work from home the next day.

Let me get this straight… We’re supposed to drink home brew, wallow in our own garbage and eat cabbage in the dark and then wake up in somebody else’s clothes before calling in to work hung-over? My people have been doing these things on this day for hundreds of years, and now some twirpy enviro-weenie comes along and actually thinks he thought of something new?

Heck, we even walk in our parade while Al Gore is taking private jets to climate change summits, so spare me the preaching, greenfellas.

A couple other ways to “green” your St. Patrick’s Day would include…

–Vomit only in a re-usable burlap bag, and if possible share your bag with others
–Use spinach to make your beer green instead of earth-unfriendly artificial dyes
–Insist police drive you to jail in a hybrid vehicle

Happy St. Patrick’s Day all!

If we do this, will the oceans keep from drowning Gotham?

Creepy ol’ leprechauns!

    St. Patrick’s Day? No wonder I feel so bad, I thought it was Week.No green beer for me though, politically correct or colored. Only Scotch for a celebration such as this.Did the clothes swap. Girlfriend looked sharp in a suit. I felt a little silly in the skirt this morning. Puked on neighbors lawn, will tell him about global warming and such if i was seen. Police took me home after brief question and “huh” exercise. Surely this was due to my odor, and we that my house was closer than PD.
