*BING*BING*BING*
we’ve got a new meme!
GLOBAL WARMING WORMS!!! Coming to eat us ALL!
First it was our cars. Then our electricity use—coal, yanno. Then our heating and cooling. Our steaks and our fat asses. Our shopping. Our capitalism. Our Christmas Holiday lights, our trees and Santa…
Jimminy Christmas—now what?!?
“In the United States alone in 2005, divorced households used 73 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water that could have been saved had household size remained the same as that of married households."
Yeah. “Turn off the lights” and “take group showers” has always been the refrain Here’s the new bit:
The number of rooms per person in divorced households was 33 percent to 95 percent greater than in married households.
Yep. You’re taking up too much room. I’m not sure if they’re recommending people stay together until they kill one another—though I think that is what they would prefer.
They way they’re saying it—for the moment—is that Humans are now competing for the space with those plants that are used to make that [incredibly inefficient] biofuel.
Keep an eye on this one—we’re gonna hear more nagging information about how we’re ALL using up too much space.
And this is from a website called “smartplanet”? Obviously the planet they’re from is not this one. And from a U Michigan study? It boggles the mind.
But just hold on a second. Consider the little bungalow occupied by Mr & Mrs Edwards. 28,200 sq-ft, 2 adults + 3 children, that’s 5640 sq-ft / person. Surely the U Michigan professors would raise an eyebrow over that.
OK, then, here’s the plan. Next week, 30 more people will be moved in to the Edwards estate, by the US Bureau of Equitable Housing. They can park their trailers somewhere on the 100 acres. Maybe the back 40. Which will leave plenty of room for the cows and sheep.
