Hardees Death Offers & Your Carbon Emissions

Today I made the rare, and disastrous decision to ... go to Hardees (Carl's Jr.) for breakfast. I know about MSG in sausage, and what it does to your brain. I know about Styrofoam coffee cups, and food packaging overkill...but it was right next to the location I'm working from... and you know the story. 

So, my point though, isn't how bad a jerk I am, alone. My point is about the yay-hoo driving my car (me) plus the yay-hoos in the two cars in front of me, in addition to the one that drove in behind me - and all the yay-hoos in their cars everyday waiting for their double QP, or a Mexican pizza, or the whatever it is.

Carbon emissions is a killer. Stand behind a work truck for a couple of minutes. Feel dizzy?Salivatingly nauseous? That blue smoke we are pumping into the atmosphere at an alarming rate everyday is adding up. 

Too, as more people and more machines take up landing and practice here on Earth the potential for gross volumes of this stuff continues to increase. What's more, factories in developing countries (factories here too) don't have quality standards that have the long term in mind. 

This things deserve our attention. 

Emissions is killing people's lungs, increasing the number of toxin related asthma cases globally each year. What's more, environmentalists see the growing potential of environmental destruction motivated by the burning of fossil fuels.

When we sit in our cars, heck when we run them, they're putting out a bi-product of the fuel that's burning under the hood. This bi-product in addition to the same or similar bi-product emitting from the factories down the road and in developing countries adds to the Earth's ability to trap infrared rays within the Earth's atmosphere. 

Infrared. Think about that. It doesn't sound good does it? How about living in a house full of infrared rays; sound cozy? Sounds a lot like the type of "rays" that nurse technicians (radiologists) wear metal sheets in attempt to avoid soaking up. 

That's what's happening. Carbon emissions (which are puke worthy themselves) lead to the Earth's ability to house more infrared rays in the atmosphere. What's more, that problem adds to the melting of the polar ice caps and glaciers, which adds to all sorts of other turbulent stuff. 

So, avoid Hardees, and if you end up there; consider parking and taking the quick walk inside to get your grease-ridden cloro-carbons and Earth murdering styro-excess packaging. And if you see me there, make sure I'm doing it too, would ya?
