NEWS CLIPS FROM THE TOMB OF THE UNREAL . . .
VOL. 7 -- FUNNY ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS
1989 PIGGING OUT
Ben & Jerry's, the innovative and environmentally conscious ice cream company, solves part of its waste treatment problem by feeding ice-cream slop to 300 pigs. The program runs smoothly until the pigs announce that they will strike unless the company agrees to increase the flow of hot fudge effluent.
 1994 HERBICIDAL MANIACS
The Environmental Protection Agency announces it will allow farmers to begin using a new herbicide even though the chemical is known to cause cancer. An EPA spokesman downplays environ- mentalists' objections, noting that the new herbicide poses less risk to the public than the alternative: "Some of these farm weeds can really wreak havoc. If they were ever to get past the barbed wire and make it to the city.... Well, it would be ugly."
2003 GONE FISHING
Environmentally minded marine experts warn that the world's ocean fisheries are being overharvested, with some areas in danger of permanent collapse. A fishing industry spokesperson counters that the issue is overblown, saying that by the time the oceans are fished dry, food scientists will have developed a perfectly satisfactory plankton burger.

This is all theoretical, of course - Hummers are rare, cost upwards of $175,000 here, and I hate the proliferation of SUVs on city streets. |
