'Carbon Belch Day' promotes un-green actions

'Carbon Belch Day' promotes un-green actions, by Sarah Hallman

"Smoke cigars, do a partial load of laundry, drink bottled water, and feel no shame. That's what a campaign against a carbon trading bill is urging."

In a rebellion against the recent obsession with living a greener life some people have created the carbon belch. In this idea, instead of reducing your effects on the planet, there is a chosen day on which everyone involved will do all the most anti-green things they can think of.
While I understand the rebellious mature of this it does not change the fact that it is stupid and immature. If you don't want to do green things, fine, but don't go out of your way to reverse all the work people are putting into this. Plus no one will benefit from this, you'll both lose money and kill the planet the same time. So you will also be personally non-benefiting from this.
