Waste good water washing out tin cans as you watch us proudly throw
theirs away
Buy
that cute little hybrid which you could pull up inside our 9
passenger behemoths
Carry
out your groceries in eco-evil cotton bags as 5 billion new plastic
ones are tossed away
Pay
extra for wind power as the Chinese open 2 dirty-tech coal-fired
plants every week
Combine
your trips to save gas and pass by the obese idling blankly in fast
food drive-thru lines
Call
for climate change action as neighbors fight it by simply adjusting
their thermostats
Reduce
your eco-footprints even as hordes of new middle class Asians join in
over-consumption
Walk
quietly in the woods listening as drunk, gas-powered wreckreationists
roar by shouting
Screw
in funny bulbs as their unblinking, high-watt nightlights obscure the
entire night sky
Invest
in a solar panel quickly blocked out by our new 5000 square ft
McMansion
Cook
meals from scratch at home as millions of us find it cheaper to graze
at McDonalds
Pay
more for grass-raised, antibiotic & feedlot-free meat that should
cost less to produce
Forgo
children while the impoverished uneducated drop more than their share
upon you
Try
helping to do more with less funding while our arms producers secure
no-bid, cost-plus handouts
Pick
up a bit of road litter as entire ocean basins fill with tons of our
plastic trash
Fret
over packaging as Chinese factories pay bribes to dump toxins into
rivers every night
Worry
over a sustainable future while our financial wizards achieve total
market meltdown
Xeriscape
your lawn to a scraggly brown even as 3rd world squatters
turn vast tracts into desert
Save
precious water as we waste billions of gallons from non-renewable
fossil aquifers for free
Contribute
to environmental watchdog groups as conglomerates efficiently
strip-mine the seas
Watch
as your careful recycling gets dumped or shipped back to Asia just to
wrap more imports
Whine
pointlessly for solar power as Big Coal revs up subsidized mountain
top strip mining
Contribute
to wildlife societies as 3 billion others suffer an abject, subhuman
poverty
Listen
to us pit the earth against family values to avoid so-called
intrusive over-regulation
Demand
sustainable economics even as we bail out the very financiers who
ruined you
Just
try asking us to consider the next thousand years when we only plan
for the next quarter
Hear
the under-employed snicker over climate worries in the wake of the
Great Recession
Watch
us laugh in incredulity at your proposals to CO2 tax gas up to $4 a
gallon
Go
about in heavy sweaters as we romp in shorts in their uninsulated
trophy homes
Eat
wilted veggies and healthy oils as we swill down and throw away
factory fast food
Forgo
new clothes for thrift stores which then have no donations to send
overseas
Give
so that stray dogs may live yet ignore the saved from abortion but
unwanted, bastard children
Give
that stray dogs may live as we ignore the unwanted, bastard children
we saved from abortion
Take
to heart our scornful braying against expensive mandated
environmental restoration
Make
those 20 steps to greener living that we undo daily before even
getting to work
Carefully
check the ingredients but remain unaware of their adulterated Asian
sources
Take
the long view of a spaceship earth in a dying world ADD’d on our
get-rich-quick delusions
