Green viatology; confirming your carbon footprint

Hi Viatologists,

As you continue your scientific studies of roadways, please take a
moment to realise how your carbon footprint affects the environment!
Carbon densifies the ozone layer and traps heat.  Consider going above
and beyond the scientific principles of viatology by additionally
keeping YOUR studies green.  With your help, you can help save the
planet.  For a list of recommended guidelines in "green" for viatology-
based research, please refer to this article:

http://tinyurl.com/92hv4h

Of importance:

(1)  Don't take road trips purely for the sake of roads!!!  Bundle it
into a
vacation and kill two birds w/one stone.
(2)  If viatologists wish to discuss their topic w/ one another, use
alternative communication mediums like teleconferencing, telephone,
or
physically meeting together for more than a Saturday/Sunday gig
that's
several hundred kilometres away.  If you're traveling that kind of
distance
for that short of a meet, your lack of a social life is deprecating to
Earth
and is a carbon pollutant.
(3)  If you must travel for the sake of viatology alone, consider a
fuel-efficient car that gets more than 30 MPG or 7.75L/100km.
(4)  Carpool w/ other viatologists when all possible.

To reiterate -- getting to your destination of roadside research
produces carbon emission.  It doesn't matter whether you travel by
car, rail, or airplane.  Do your part and determine what method suits
the environment.

The WWTL officially endorses a green advertising-partner called 'Trip
Footprint', who uncoincidentally offers you the ability to compute
your footprint based on your mode of transportation AND the number of
people involved in your travel party:  http://www.tripfootprint.com .
Consider a visit today.

Cheers,

Those from other newsgroups besides MTR are not going to know what
OSTT is.

Too bad you're all about brown viatology... what with your sticking

It can't be worse than your emissions, which smell like a deadly
combination of horse semen and Taco Bell.

For once I agree with Karl, but only because it's a legitimate website
and not the Worldwide Tongue-in-Anus Library.

Please stop cross-posting anything to ne.transportation that is not
specifically about transportation in New England.

OSTT: Ohev Shalom Talmud Torah? Off-shore tanker terminal? 
Organizational systems technology training? Open systems technology 
transfer? What?

Operation Starve The Troll. In other words, don't reply to anything
that carl spams to the newsgroups to deprive him of the attention he
craves.

Carl, if I still cared about your ho-hum site, I would quit now because
you're parroting the "green" movement, which is about hating human beings.

Ask not how big your footprint is on the environment.  Ask how much the
environment demands of YOU -- and if it's too much, then smash it.

Humans don't exist to protect the Earth.  The Earth exists to sustain
human beings.  Comfortably.
