Germany's Failing Environmental Projects

http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,821396,00.html

>>The energy-saving light bulb ends up as hazardous waste, too much insulation promotes mold and household drains are emitting a putrid odor because everyone is saving water. Many of Germany's efforts to protect the environment are a chronic failure, but that's unlikely to change.>>

Read the entire article.

It's hilarious.

How would you cope with 5 garbage bins with a sixth on the way?

Greens Warn against Dangerous Dildos

http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,771863,00.html

>>Germany's Green Party is worried about the health risks of sex toys. Dildos and vibrators contain dangerously high levels of phthalates and other plasticizers, which can cause infertility and hormone imbalances, they claim. Now the party wants the government to take action to protect the 20 percent of Germans who use sex toys.>>

yes the green/scemes are failing
as rapidly as their lobby end's..to move-on..to the next govt cash cow

note please how govt/globally..spent prolificly..by overlending
[when bankers over/lent..based on furure promised 'earnings'
and govt bonded promises..[govt bonds..now defaulting]

note how..they get the money and run
put money hiden in special accounts

like the 72 billion pension scam[sceme]
or the 10 billion[12?]..green slush fund

forget that the next bond
only pays off the last one now

that even a haircut..means..their 'scemes'..
took a 'haircut'..via bailing out their mates

once the people see
what the green eyed socialistic capitalists
have extracted..via bailout/bonus/pension/sceme/leverage

we will enter the new age
as assets return back to those they were stolen from

adverse debt..means..their derivitives
cant be owned free and clear

that obtained by collused treasonous frauds
cannot hold lawfull title over ill-gotten gain

proceeds of crime legislation
will ensure their scemes were to nought

Ok, so Germany has run off the rails to some extent in its desire to exercise a strong environmental philosophy. But hey, their efforts are far better than no effort at all. And what would you expect with a concerted multifaceted attempt for a whole country to minimise its ecological footprint? Of course it is not going to run entirely smoothly.

Surely the German political psyche is in a pretty good place if politicians are competing with each other to be greener, despite some inevitable downsides.

As far as the Greens warning against dangerous dildos… well… good on them!!

Well, good on them if this is just one small item amongst lots of press releases about all sorts of stuff which are presenting a balanced output on the total environmental/sustainability picture!

So we need to understand the greater context before we ridicule them for this.

20% of Germans use sex toys?!?! ( :>o

one needs to ask...
how green is this really

we got them flueo green bulbs for free
mates bying ccccrap from mates

as we see the lcd bulbs work much better
yet the govt bought the garbage one
cause a mate owns that

needed that cash
to buy up the other

its like govt subsidising beta

put one of them reusable bags in the window for a month
now dropp a frozen chook into it..[its decaying as i write]

it decays..into white powder
how the fish love eating that

its the lies im resisting
your fears are played on..like your a consuming idiot

see how the solar water was cut short
cause they were about to do like the solar cells mob did

loot and plunder govt cash
and keeping all green certificates
we dogged a bullit on solar hot water

well dun for once
now to jail a few ex premiers and unionists..loving govt cash

soo much
they are willing to despoil the earth..
trick us into a new industrial geeen age
to rebuild..in green..that we just near destroyed the earth building in the first place

yes today you get doubl;e input tarrif
but when we are all paying double[to pay for it]
and it breaks...[as it was designed to do]..yes well dun mum

ya ever seen that youtube clip
re the longlife lightbulb..lol

Sheesh, now there is a great marketing opportunity. Green friendly
sex toys!

I have no doubt many greens are aware of a safer sex toy we all have.
In fact this thread may say over use is a possibility.

Lol Belly!

Surely the Greens should encourage the regular use of the 'natural' form of this 'equipment', being that it is organic and totally natural?

Then again, we would have the radical conservative parties getting upset then about encouraging such 'behaviour' !
We just can't win really :)

Suse I am quite sure they do.

If, sometimes, solutions to environmental problems are hard to swallow it's time to get a grip...

it's time to get a grip...
Wm Trevor,
I'll leave that to the asexual left. They're the proven experts.

So you are right handed Indy?

Lol guys! Very clever wordplay.
You have given me a good giggle today :)

Dear Suse,

I'm still laughing!

Lexi, Suesonline. It's not necessarily a laughing matter – the environment can and does serve useful purposes, even for example, with marriage counselling…

Before divorce all couples should compulsorily attend a nudist weekend and air their differences!

Steven you are a villain! in the nicest way.
Only good manners killed this thread,we could have had real fun, in my view.
What about starting a satire thread?
Now I know, yep, my anti green stuff brands me,in the eyes of our [Labors] lost brothers and sisters.
But it is the Australian nature to stirr,to try to upset your mates.
What other country would have once founded a group, based on mmatship and drinking,to aid Charity's.
Named it *the old Ba**ards*?
Yesterday,Market day [my second for the weekend] one stall holder me,and another stall holder, he walked as all do around talking to other holders.
Conversation,me everything he uny lecturer, first at uny head shrinker in the making.
QLD election and greens, believe me it was far hotter than here.
A customer came to buy, and one holder said go away we are talking!
The group grew by one, as he was Liberal us Labor it was fun and we enjoyed one another's company.
Greens took verbal heat however such is Australia
