Wow! Seems like the world wide interweb is a good way to make friends! We’ve been online the “net” for only a day, and we’re already hearing from tons of Offset-ateers out there fighting the good fight.
To paraphrase the Beastie Boys, “you gotta fight, for your right, to OFFFFF-SET!!!”
‘Cause if we don’t stand up for offsets who will? Big polluters like American Electric Power, Duke Energy, BP, ConocoPhillips, DuPont, General Motors, Dow Chemical and Shell? I don’t think so.
Sure, they may have dropped millions of dollars lobbying Congress for billions of tons of offsets, but what makes you think they’ll get that? Congress won’t listen to big business. Never have, never will!
That’s why your help is needed. You don’t need to be a professional lobbyist for polluting industries (though it could help). Use the Earned Devastation Calculator! Spread the word virtually to your real cyber friends on the Facebooks, and to your space on MySpace…and if you are into birds, do the Twitter too.
Can’t let the doubting doubters with their questions win. We need an Amendment for offsetting. How many Amendments are we up to in the Constitution? Ah forget it. Put it in the Bill of Rights. Better yet, the Declaration of Independence!
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of ga-zillions of tons of offsets so we can keep polluting as much as we (and giant coal companies) darn please.”
Hey, I think I’m onto something. Got a nice ring to it doesn’t it? Who’s with me? I mean, besides big polluting multi-national corporations?
