A new campaign hopes to harness women power to fight climate change. Just get them to gossip at a wind farm! Am I right fellas?
The “1 million women” campaign hopes to get a million Australian women to cut their household’s carbon emissions by a tonne over a year. Of course, the easiest way is divorce.
After all, people who would think it’s funny to trap someone in a dutch oven are probably not the right people to trust with fixing the atmosphere.
Men aren’t going to do anything about it. To them, climate change is just one big dutch oven.
And, just by calling it the “one million women” project, it has already attracted big names like Shane Warne, Gene Simmons and Matthew Johns.
Unfortunately, the “one million men” project didn’t go so well. It just created extra greenhouse gases from all the mowing, barbecuing, formula one racing, and farting, and ended with a punch-on in the carpark.
Though if you want to increase wind power, you really can’t beat men.
As always, women are expected to clean up the mess that WE made.
Well that should take care of all the female power plants and mining giants.
Not only are women now expected to fix the entire world’s environmental problems, but they’ve also been asked to make the salad. / bring a plate.
Polls show more women than men are interested in the climate change issue. And sexist campaigns like this won’t help that.
If men want to help contribute, they have to cross-dress and speak in a high-pitched voice.
One hundred prominent women have been chosen to be spokeswomen for the cause, including Queensland Premier Anna Bligh. She’s committed to setting a good example for individuals to reduce their own carbon impact so she doesn’t have to inconvenience any businesses. / pass any legislation.
The Managing Director of a BP Refinery is one of the big name advocates. Because thanks to the Federal Government’s carbon reduction scheme, the more individuals make personal reductions, the more her refinery will be able to keep cranking out crap.
Eating one less red meat meal per week could save the typical household a quarter of a tonne of greenhouse gas per year. And enforced vegetarianism will also get rid of a lot of those gaseous husbands. / Unfortunately, enforced vegetarianism will result in much gassier husbands.
The campaign plans to echo the women’s movement of the 70s, though frankly if women hadn’t fought so hard for equality they might have had time to clean up after us.
