Nature has gifted us with some beautiful warm, sunny, breezy weather as of late. Where was the laundry of the “New Green Deal Folks”?

Not outside. Perhaps they were fearful of the pollutey stuff spewing methyl-ethyl death on their laundry. Maybe they were out picking up trash and bringing it to the landfill in their electric cars, (the electricity does still come from fracked gas).

Perhaps waiting for solar panels. Nope, nope, nope. Work on small stuff. Deliveries to your home several times a day. Really necessary? How about instead a small garden and some composting? While waiting for the world to shut down and give you green power will you turn off your AC when it is over 80 degrees? Will you be willing to give up open space ( the view that you deem yours on the land you do not own) and perhaps also store the spent solar batteries?

By the way my laundry was flapping in the breeze right next to my compost pile.
