Any product can be greenwashed, including beer. The Boulevard Brewing Company is celebrating Earth Day all week with an event entitled “Brew & Renew”:

From zero-landfill facilities to pollinator-friendly programs and partnerships with Ripple Glass, the Kansas City-based brewery is offering immersive tours that highlight its commitment to environmental responsibility…

Ripple Glass recycles glass bottles.

By the end of the tour, participants should have a better understanding of sustainable brewing methods and how minor adjustments can have a significant environmental impact.

If you find the global climate satisfactory, thank Boulevard Brewing Co. But thank a Phoenix area brewer even more:

SanTan Brewing Company is on a mission to reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for a cleaner Earth and better beer. To achieve this mission, SanTan has invested in an Earthly Labs System that recaptures the carbon dioxide that is naturally produced by the fermentation of its beers. The CO2 is then stored as a liquid and repurposed to carbonate SanTan beers. Additionally, SanTan has installed a nitrogen generator which will purify the ambient air and eliminate the use of CO2 for purging aluminum cans, kegs and tanks at its production facility.

Next, SanTan employees might be forced to wear special gasmasks that capture the harmless CO2 they exhale, similar to fart-capturing and burp-capturing devices moonbats want to impose on cows lest they make it be too warm outside.

In the olden days, beer was judged by its taste. But liberal virtue signaling is more important in these enlightened times. However, this sometimes results in unintended consequences, as when Bud Light lost $1.4 billion by putting the face of the gut-wrenchingly repulsive Dylan Mulvaney on their beer.

Tomorrow is genocidal communist dictator Vladimir Lenin’s birthday. Now we know it as “Earth Day.” Stand by as moonbat propaganda is cranked up to 11. Earth Day is followed by Earth Night:

Organized by a small volunteer group called DJs for Climate Action, Earth Night is a global initiative that brings climate and environmental messages into dance halls, bars, clubs, and other nightlife venues.

Patrick Jeanty Jr., who was inspired by Kamelo Anthony to proclaim that he will murder Caucasians who “approach” him, is not the only DJ to spread the word of moonbattery. Fortunately, Earth Night objectives are more absurd than malevolent.

DJs for Climate Action plans to exert “global impact” on the weather with a special toolkit for local organizers:

It includes specific tips for sustainability, such as going plastic-free, booking local talent, featuring plant-based menus, and using renewable energy where possible.

Sounds planet-changing. In case it doesn’t work, those subjected to the propaganda will no doubt be encouraged to support government action reducing our freedom and standard of living in the name of the allegedly imperiled climate.

If you could use a good laugh, check out the solar-powered DJ booth from a 2019 Earth Night event in Paris. Ought to work great indoors at night.

Holland is the world’s #2 agricultural exporter, but that may not last for long, because leftists have been shutting down farms as part of the environmentalist war on nitrogen, which comprises 78% of the air we breathe but like its fellow plant nutrient carbon dioxide is a pollutant according to woke ideology. However, nitrogen isn’t always bad.

From the enviromoonbat site The Cool Down:

A new study published in Nature Communications found that great whales — including humpbacks, grays, and right whales — are hauling thousands of tons of nitrogen from polar feeding zones to tropical waters every year, reported Popular Science. Along the way, they’re quietly fertilizing coral reefs and coastal ecosystems that would otherwise run low on essential nutrients. …

The research team estimates they release over 4,000 tons of nitrogen annually, mostly in the form of urea-rich urine. …

All of that liquid gold ends up in the ocean, where it fuels the growth of algae, plankton, and coral, especially in places that struggle with nutrient shortages.

Humpbacks migrating from Antarctica to Costa Rica leak urea the entire way, connecting ecosystems thousands of miles apart.

There would be even more liquid gold, if not for the cancer known as humanity:

Before commercial whaling slashed global populations, these cross-hemisphere nutrient flows may have been up to three times greater.

It all depends on the context. Nitrogen in the context of feeding human beings is bad. Nitrogen in the context of whales peeing in the pool is good.

Common ground has been discovered between Muslims and moonbats beyond their shared goal of destroying Western Civilization. Both are hostile to man’s best friend.

Mohammad is said to have disliked dogs so much that he ordered them all to be killed, then changed his mind and declared only black dogs should be killed. Al-Hakim, a Muslim ruler of Egypt, ordered the killing of all dogs in 1005. Dogs are widely considered unclean in Islam, resulting in Muslim cab drivers refusing to take fares who require seeing-eye dogs.

Now dogs are also unclean in the liberal religion:

Mother Jones … highlighted new research, originally published by The Guardian, that concluded dogs have “extensive and multifarious” environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions.

Other than being racist or failing to affirm LGBTism, there are no crimes more serious than producing the carbon emissions that make the crops grow but that liberals regard as offensive to the weather.

It pinpointed how canines are disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds.

Too bad lefties are not as concerned about the many eagles they kill with their money-laundering wind turbines.

Among the crimes dogs stand accused of committing against the environment,

[I]ntel showed that insecticides from flea and tick medications kill aquatic invertebrates when they wash off into waterways.

Won’t someone please heed the pleas of oppressed aquatic invertebrates? The liberal media will.

Dog feces, meanwhile, can leave scent traces…

This ground-breaking discovery can be confirmed by stepping in dog do and failing to clean it off your shoe.

Most unforgivable are dogs’ crimes against the climate:

A 2020 study found the dry pet food industry had an environmental footprint that is around twice the land area of the UK, with greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the 60th highest-emitting country.

Speaking of the UK, the moonbats in charge there floated the idea of killing all cats because Covid hysteria. Dogs will need defending if the notion catches on among progressives that they pose an existential threat to life on earth by causing global warming.

You can recognize ecomoonbats by the trail they leave behind them. Human waste and dead animals are telltale signs. The Guardian dutifully pulls back the curtain on a pair hailing from Denmark:

Flemming Hansen and Mette Helbæk founded their purportedly eco-friendly retreat, Stedsans, in Halland, southern Sweden, after claiming to have “felt the call of the wild” …

Stedsans, formed of 16 wooden cottages looking out on to nature, attracted praise from influencers…

But then the couple took a powder, leaving behind…

…158 barrels of human waste… [W]astewater was left to run into the forest.

The “eco-retreat” was no kinder to animals than a wind turbine.

Staff said multiple animals – including ducks – had died as a result of being left outside through the night by the couple, and others were left abandoned after the owners vanished.

Stedsans was declared bankrupt in March and the couple reportedly registered themselves as living abroad before Christmas.

They reportedly owe Sweden $607,200 in taxes. Rather than pay, they absconded to Guatemala and gripe on their website,

“We came very far with Stedsans, but we also had to realise on the way that being soul-driven entrepreneurs on a mission in a country where taxes are some of the highest in the world and bureaucracy is relentless, it is an impossible task.”

Wail the soul-driven entrepreneurs,

“All we ever wanted was to be a part of creating a more beautiful planet.”

Meanwhile,

Local authorities described their actions as “environmental crime”.

With moonbats, it is only the righteous posturing that counts. Actual outcomes are for grownups to worry about.

If a single issue sums up the phoniness, corruption, and anti-Americanism of the liberal establishment, it is the ongoing mass slaughter of our national symbol by the coercively subsidized wind turbines that Democrats pretend benefit the environment but that actually serve primarily to launder taxpayer money on behalf of their donors.

The American Eagle Foundation raises the alarm:

A 2013 study published in The Wildlife Society Bulletin found that wind turbines killed an estimated 573,000 birds annually in the United States.

Particularly vulnerable are soaring birds of prey like eagles.

Many a wind turbine has been raised as a monument to moonbattery since 2013. Many times more would be needed to achieve the progressive goal of replacing more efficient and reliable means of generating energy like fossil fuels.

An even more alarming fact is that the data on the number of deaths is gathered by paid consultants to the wind industry. That’s the fox guarding the chicken house. At the infamous Altamont Wind Resource Area alone, more than 2,000 Golden Eagles have been killed by the wind turbines there.

Unless something changes, the body count will continue to skyrocket:

The number of birds taken annually by wind energy facilities (not including associated power lines and towers) has been estimated to exceed 1.4 million birds by 2030 if there is no change in U.S. policy toward wind energy development.

Democrats in DC appear to be okay with this:

In December, 2016, a new eagle-management plan announced a final rule by the federal government that would give wind energy developers 30-year permits to “take” or incidentally kill protected Bald and Golden Eagles, without requiring the industry to share mortality data with the public or take into consideration such critical factors as proper siting.

Anyone who does not love and admire eagles has not gotten to know them. In that regard, live eagle cams can help:

Ironically, the wind turbines erected by moonbats also kill large numbers of bats. This is a problem because it lets the population of mankind’s worst enemy — the mosquito — flourish beyond control.

Killing vast numbers of birds and bats is hardly the only deleterious effect on the environment. In addition to the problem of disposing of old turbine blades (which even NPR admits to),

During construction of a wind turbine, roads often have to be widened or built from scratch; mountain tops are sometimes blasted away to create a level area of at least 3 acres, so that the platform can be stable enough to support the enormous weight of each turbine assembly.

Wind turbines have ruined some of America’s most beautiful landscapes. They are the Democrat Party’s visual equivalent of a stray dog spurting urine on everything to mark his territory by imposing his stink.

To live under moonbat rule means having every aspect of your life micromanaged by sanctimonious kooks. In New York, this now includes sorting food waste out of your garbage:

Starting April 1, residents will have to separate food waste from trash or risk receiving a $25 fine from the Department of Sanitation. …

Education materials developed by the [New York City Department of Sanitation] establish that food scarps and food-soiled paper should be set aside in compost bins instead of trash bags.

If you pay federal taxes (or hold inflated US currency), you helped pay for this:

[Department spokesperson Vincent] Gragnani said the department also has $2 million in federal funding to spend on advertising about the program.

You thought making people separate “recyclable” material would be enough to placate the Green Police? Nothing will ever be enough, because this isn’t about the climate or the delta smelt. It is about liberals’ ability to make you do whatever they say. After three separate bins for your garbage will come four.

When Heathrow shuts down, there is chaos, as the Daily Mail reported yesterday:

Heathrow Airport has been shut down all day today after a devastating electrical fire -sparking worldwide travel chaos and days of disruption for hundreds of thousands of people already being compared to 9/11.

The UK’s busiest airport was forced to close on Friday after its main electrical substation exploded and set alight less than two miles away in the west London suburb of Hayes.

You’ve heard the term “climate chaos”? That may be what we have here:

Chaos at Heathrow Airport can be blamed on the drive for net zero by successive governments, according to Reform UK MP Richard Tice.

“Net zero” is the lunatic concept that it is possible to engage in human activity without producing the harmless CO2 emissions that plants need to grow.

Says Tice:

“Critical infrastructure like that obviously needs a backup and I can exclusively reveal to you this morning that Heathrow changed its backup systems to be net zero compliant.

“It got rid of their diesel generators and moved to a biomass generator which was designed not to completely replace the grid, but work alongside the grid.”

With enviromoonbattery, bringing air travel to a halt isn’t a bug; it is a feature. John Kerry types in their private jets will be the only ones flying if the future is green.

It is not about spotted owls or desert tortoises. It is about tyranny. Ask Pam Johnson of Leeds, Utah:

Johnson’s family has been part of the Leeds community for generations and previously had a cattle operation that would graze on the public land in the area. But, in the 1990s, Johnson was forced to sell her cattle when their permit to graze was rescinded. …

At the time, the federal government ruled that cattle grazing posed a threat to the tortoise population.

Now, 30 years later, the same land near Grapevine Wash and Babylon Road is being bulldozed to make way for development, including housing, retail space, and a hotel. This development has been in the works for a decade, but zoning changes were approved in August 2024. It could double the population of Leeds.

Unlike letting cattle graze, urbanizing the area will not offend the sacred desert tortoise. Or maybe ranchers just don’t have the right friends.

One reason California has such devastating wildfires is that the state is infested with environmentalists and their lawyers.

Via Chico’s Action News Now:

The Community Protection Project (CPP) is a $650 million, 200,000-acre project to protect communities in the Plumas National Forest that have not burned in the last 5-7 years. The forest service plans to use prescribed burns, forest thinning, and herbicides as part of the massive fuel reduction project. It’s designed to protect communities in Plumas and Butte Counties from future wildfires.

However,

The environmental group Feather River Action filed a lawsuit demanding a full environmental statement to look at the impact of logging, burning, and herbicides.

What moonbats don’t like, they bog down in red tape. Good luck cutting through it before the next uncontrolled conflagration.

Feather River Action spokesmoonbat Josh Hart — who accuses the US Forest Service of “using the climate crisis to justify industrial logging” — helpfully provides alternatives to proper forest management:

“What the real solutions to this climate crisis are in terms of protecting communities, which is hardening communities building structures out of non-burnable materials plugging holes, and clearing areas 200 feet around structures.”

There is no climate crisis, except in the addled minds of moonbats. In contrast, Los Angeles residents can attest that the threat of wildfires is quite real.

Having imposed their bleak creed on every aspect of life, moonbats turn to death. The BBC extolls those who devote their death to ecomoonbattery:

“I don’t want my last act on this planet to be a polluting act, if I can help that,” Rachel Hawthorn explains.

You can tell Rachel is a true believer moonbat by the eyes. She plans to make her own ecofriendly burial shroud.

“I try so hard in my life to recycle and to use less, and to live in an environmentally friendly way, so I want my death to be that as well,” she adds.

If only she could never have existed in the first place. That would be ideal, according to ecomoonbattery.

Gas cremation feeds the plants with harmless but politically haram carbon dioxide emissions. Traditional burial isn’t kosher either:

Non-biodegradable coffins are often made with harmful chemicals and bodies are embalmed using formaldehyde: a toxic substance which can leach into soil.

Rachel has already made a burial shroud for a friend out of “locally-sourced wool, willow, bramble and ivy.”

The dying and their loved ones may seek solace from a pastor. Rachel provides the woke alternative:

She also works as a death doula, which involves supporting people who are dying, as well as their loved ones, to make informed funeral care choices.

The important thing is to dispose of the body in a way that will leave the least possible trace.

Natural burial grounds are dotted across the UK and bear little resemblance to normal cemeteries – trees and wildflowers replace man-made grave markings, and no pesticides are used.

So that the body will decompose faster, the burials are shallow — much like the moonbat religion.

It might seem impossible, but some climate activists are actually even more stupid than they are evil:

Radical anti-fossil fuel activist group Climate Defiance on Thursday protested at Energy Department’s Washington, D.C., headquarters, claiming to have “shuttered” the entrance.

“Breaking: we have shuttered the entrance to the Department of Energy. Cops swarming by the 100. Senior officials on edge. Revolution in air. Updates imminent,” the group stated in a post on X.

Their revolution did not quite compare to October 1917.

Andrew Follett, senior analyst at Club for Growth and former DOE contractor, said the group was actually blocking an unused entrance to a parking garage.

You would think climate activists could come up with more effective tactics, considering the money they bring in:

According to Influence Watch, the bulk of the group’s funding comes from the Climate Emergency Fund, which funnels funding into a few hostile climate activist groups, including the Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil, and the Sunrise Movement. In 2021, the fund brought in over $6 million, its tax filings show.

Who would give money to these malevolent clowns? Rich leftists:

In 2022, liberal Hollywood film director Adam McKay pledged $4 million to the Climate Emergency Fund, and he became a member of its board. Abigail Disney, heiress to the Disney fortune, donated $200,000 to the fund.

Don’t give up, moonbats. You still have until January 20 to persuade the government to abolish all efficient means of generating energy, leaving the economy to collapse and most of us to die of starvation. Then the weather will be pleased with you.

For housing to be acceptable to the climate, it must be sustainable. This can be accomplished by making homes out of hemp and horse manure:

Dan Rawlins and his partner Chloe Meyer set themselves an ambitious target when they decided to build an off-grid house made from hempcrete and rendered with a horse manure mix, all without ever having built a house before.

Hempcrete is made out of hemp and lime. Dan says it is vermin proof, vapor permeable, and not merely carbon neutral but carbon negative because it sequesters carbon, making it holy in the moonbat religion.

Horse manure adds strength to the hempcrete walls.

And, in case you were wondering, it’s relatively odourless, which is no doubt a relief for Dan and Chloe.

The house also features a composting outdoor toilet and solar panels. It took a year and a half to build and cost more than expected, but they are living in it.

In utopia, housing will be acknowledged as a human right and will be exclusively provided by Big Government so as to ensure equity. This ideologically compliant house may serve as a model.

Believers in the global warming hoax are unreachable by rational argument because their gullibility is not merely a matter of stupidity but of faith. Enviromoonbattery is not so much an ideology as a godless, hollow religion. They even have eco-chaplains.

From state-affiliated NPR:

The demand to address climate grief, anxiety and burnout is growing, according to the Rev. Alison Cornish, the chaplaincy coordinator at The BTS Center, a non-profit in Portland, Maine that looks at climate change through a spiritual lens.

In 2017, the American Psychological Association defined climate anxiety as “a chronic fear of environmental doom.”

Neurotics could cure their climate anxiety by not listening to the B.S. spewed by the liberal establishment. Instead, they call upon eco-chaplains to help them wallow in it.

On a chilly morning in January, Sustaining Climate Activists gathered in a library conference room.

“Just breathe normally,” the group’s co-facilitator, the Rev. Liz Olson, a certified hospital chaplain, said in a soothing yet commanding voice to the dozen people sitting with her.

“You can use this breathing any time you are panicking or worrying, knowing that we have this symbiotic relationship with the plants and the trees, and that as you are exhaling they are inhaling, and as you are inhaling, they are exhaling. We are always connected to the plants and the trees.”

The main way we are connected is that plants need CO2, which humans fortuitously produce, thereby helping crops to grow.

Participants sipped coffee, nibbled homemade oatmeal raisin cookies, passed around a box of Kleenex and examined a color wheel with the names of hues replaced by emotions — fear, anger, loneliness and anxiety.

Eco-moonbats had better stock up on the Kleenex in case election fraud can’t keep Trump out of office:

Sustaining Climate Activists arose out of a sense of being overwhelmed. In 2016, several activists affiliated with Southern Oregon Climate Action Now, a non-profit advocacy group based in Medford, Ore., came together after the presidential election of Donald Trump.

“Trump’s election freaked everyone out,” said Alan Journet, who co-founded the Medford advocacy group with his wife, Kathy Conway. “Group members wanted a way to deal with fears and anxieties about climate and politics.”

Their solution: group thumb-sucking.
