If you really want to do something for yourself and the environment try one of these. VICTORY GARDEN ¨Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences in United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany during World War I and World War II to reduce the pressure on the public food supply brought on by the war effort. In addition to indirectly aiding the war effort these gardens were also considered a civil "morale booster" — in that gardeners could feel empowered by their contribution of labor and rewarded by the produce grown. Making victory gardens become a part of daily life on the home front.¨ en.wikipedia.org

Rat is in his truck and half way home. Rat's truck runs out of gas due to greenie induced rationing. Ratty gets out to push and wishes his truck had a windmill on the roof. The crowd walks home. Atlas laughs... Can you guess what happened to renewables? The vast majority of so called "renewable" energy is hydro. Take that away, and wind and solar and geothermal still amount to a minuscule spit in a snowstorm, a percentage that won't meaningfully increase during our lifetime, in spite of unrealistic econut mandates. You can put that bud of reality in your bong and fire it up..
