Recently Yeti's work went the extra mile to try an get a green seal of approval from a Green Seal Approving Company. This Green Company sent on of it's inspectors to look over the changes the company had made and to say whether or not the company had passed inspection or not, if not, the rep would give them recommendations.
(Some background on my hubby. Yeti DOES NOT believe in global warming, he is a firm believer in free-market capitalism, and he's an independent.)
Anyhow, this Green Inspector arrives and points out all the different emission percentages and why this, that and the other are best when trying to be Green. This man also pointed out that Yeti's choice of tuna for lunch was laced with mercury and that anyone who drank carbonated beer was adding to global warming emissions since the beer would have to be transported via truck from far away.
Yeti pointed out that the Budweiser he drank regularly was bottled in a nearby city. This man's irritation over that showed later while they were speaking about the crates of beer Yeti's hotel got shipments from. This man said he didn't understand why anyone would have a desire for beer anyway. This man pointed out the carbon footprints left by all the employees he encountered as well as the hotels' carbon footprint. Yeti, remained polite and nodded along.
You see, during the course of those 8 hours of BS my hubby had to endure, this man spoke of how today he was in San Francisco, tomorrow he's be on a private jet to LA, on the same jet to NY by the end of the week, then next week jet-setting to London.
Does this man think that his own carbon footprint is null and void by his importance?
Does this man think the GREEN work he does in teaching companies to be Green is somehow his version of carbon offsetting his own carbon footprint?
It's all funnier when you take into consideration that Yeti, who doesn't believe in global warming, does not own a car, takes public transit and bicycles to work everyday. HE is a huge supporter of public transit and have gotten MANY of his fellow co-workers to switch to public transit (mainly for cost cutting and time saving reasons). Yeti also switched out the hotel and our homes' older light bulbs for more efficient light bulbs because they were more cost effective but also green (not Yeti's intentions). He even won the company's Green Conservationist Award months ago.
So here's my ultra-opinionated hubby, biting his tongue for 8 hours... just wanting to point out what a hypocrite this man was.
In the end, who's more noble in your eyes? The one who does or the one who believes?

Remember when advice was free?
It sound to me that your Yeti would be a much better representative and inspector for the cause than the hypocritical idiot he had to tolerate.
I hope, my friend, that this ha expressed my answer to your timely question.

Amy, I LOVE psycho b****s!!!!
I second that emotion.

I have to give hats off to your Yetti, there is no way I could have held it for 8 hours. That bum would have been torn apart like the paper doll he is (figuratively of course).
He says. "Those small-minded fools trying their hardest for that extra 3% raise, that next grand title, that middle management bump up the ladder allow themselves to be worked for the bone on salary and don't know the math that would show them they are all just slaves to their own bureaucracy."
And... that's why he's not one of them. plus, he thinks al gore and michael moore are hypercritical capitalist. I second that
if anyone are making hundreds of buck and hour then good for them
He a physicist? He a scientist? NO!
Just another politician trying to sell his useless book to people who worship him.
Michael Moore is his twin brother.
Amy......Wow, looks, wit and brains too, you're one danderous little stick of dynamite!!
=)
There may or may not be a problem with global warming, but its a natural cycle.
And so is this idiot inspector, they come and they go....
=P
seriously though, i completely agree and LOL to that twin bro comment!!!
I cleaned my fireplace, and got verbally clobbered for the carbon footprints I left on the living room rug.
