Ways to reduce global warming (thinking outside the box, but inside the coffin)

I don't agree with Don's entire list, but here are some notable ideas:

First on my list is to turn off the air conditioner in the summer and turn off the furnace in the winter. This way, people will not use as much electricity and natural gas, thus not only decreasing their carbon footprint but their utility bills substantially.

Second stay in bed under as many blankets as possible in the winter. Without a furnace, it will get mighty cold at home. Sleeping reduces activity, which reduces the amount of oxygen consumed, which reduces the carbon dioxide emitted.

Third, get direct deposit for that unemployment check when you lose that job due to your annual hibernation. That spares the planet the emissions of carbon dioxide from the treks to the unemployment office and the bank.

Fourth, quit watching Hollywood movies. Hollywood movies also have large carbon footprints, as they often travel by airplane to reach the local theaters. Watching only organically grown videos made by friends and neighbors would not only save the planet, but help the local economy. Fifth, if you cannot avoid Hollywood movies, at least shun those that are shown at the ... film festivals.
Sundance is bad for the environment because it took a pristine area of Utah and developed it into a paradise for the elite, who expel all sorts of carbon dioxide as they fly in and out of Utah.

Eighth, don't change the light bulb. I know. Congress has mandated switching to lights that emit more light for less energy. But not changing the light bulb means that when it burns out, you will use no electricity. Using only sunlight means darker houses at night, which means more sleep, which means even less activity, which means an even smaller carbon footprint.

My final idea: Stop exercising. Those self-centered people with the slim waists and big biceps are emitting way too much carbon dioxide. Healthy people also increase health costs by living longer and dying of more expensive diseases, according to a Dutch study online Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine journal. The Dutch found that it costs $326,000 to treat the average smoker after age 20; $371,000 to treat the average obese person; and $426,000 to treat the average healthy person.

Hmm. Of course, if we kill off the planet, everyone dies and look at the money we will save on both health costs and Social Security.

Of course, I was way ahead on the Hollywood movies strategy.
