You waste 130 tons and whaddaya get?

Posted by Catmman on Thursday, January 22, 2009 11:56:20 AM
A liberal in office and deeper in debt.  As well as the trashiest inaugural, EVAH (130 tons and counting):
 
Washington trash trucks hauled away at least 130 tons of garbage after the inauguration of President Obama, with more to go. National Park Service workers picked up almost 100 tons on the Mall and near the White House.
 
Perhaps you are an Obama apologist and want to deflect the trashiest inaugural evah by saying there is always trash after an event in Washington?  Ummm, not this much:
 
The trash generated at all other events ever held on the Mall paled compared with what was left Tuesday, Line said.
 
Over half a billion tons  of CO2 (estmated) for this inaugural.  Now the tons of solid waste generated which just adds to the waste stream and in itself is a GHG contributor once it gets into the land fill.
 
Wasn't this to be the 'greenest' inauguration evah?  Pics here, here, here.
