Yay! Ban Christmas!
That's how you find out how dedicated environmentalists and politicians are to saving the environment. All this crap about carbon is directed at energy production and transport, but you'll never hear an environmentalist or a politician suggest banning a wasteful and unproductive activity like Christmas. None of them seem to realise that we can achieve more by not being so utterly wasteful. If we stop producing substandard, useless crap and actually build something to last, then we save a whole load of resources, don't have to manufacture as much and therefore produce less CO2.

Just imagine Time Team in 200 years time uncovering a 21st century "midden"... "Ooo Ar! We can date that exactly. It's all stratified archaeology. Thar be turkey bones, heelies, turkey bones, scooters, turkey bones, Tracey island, turkey bones, furbies"
