Eh. Why not wind-up springs or rubber bands? Or, better yet, some

the animal was a plant-eater, it would be a continually renewable
source of energy. We could give the animal a name, such as 'horse,'
for 'horsepower.'


Nope, there are plenty of folks out there bitching about the carbon
footprint of livestock.


Which, I guess, is the point. No matter what you do, those guys will
complain. So why bother to do anything at all to address their
complaints?

The best way is to shoot each and every person who compains about your
carbon footprint, and bury them 6 feet under. That way, you are
reducing their carbon footprint by 100%, and you can claim that you
are indeed actually doing something to help the environment... :-)
