Lesbians is the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture, readers.
Not that I even care; I could give a rat's ass about people's sexual preferences.
I care about ILLEGAL WARS and MASS-MURDERING OCCUPATIONS, not some false religion known as global warming.

Like a lot of their friends and neighbors, Lorelei Grazier and Betty Fulton wanted to green up their lifestyle. But they weren't sure how to proceed.
"We both felt it can be overwhelming; can one person really change the world?" Grazier said. "We realized the way to empower a person is to give them practical information to change their lives."
They decided it wasn't only a personal opportunity, but a business one as well. So Fulton, an events planner, and Grazier, a designer and brand specialist, have teamed up to create an event to help people expand their eco-consciousness. The result is Down 2 Earth, a consumer-focused show opening tomorrow for a three-day run at the Hynes Convention Center.
Translation: She is an advertiser, a marketer, a SALESWOMAN!!!!
They have defined eco-consciousness broadly, so that green fashion shows and cooking demos will fit under the same roof as speeches by pioneering environmental advocates Bill McKibben and Frances Moore Lappé. Other events include workshops on home remodeling and energy use, along with forums on sustainable design and green jobs.
Yeah, selling this shit!
You know, I would actually believe all this if the lying MSM wasn't pushing it so hard!
Almost 80 exhibitors will be at the show, from vodka makers to clothing manufacturers, advocacy groups to eco-tourism companies.
Is that a contradiction?
"I would say it's for the curious, people who really want to learn," said Grazier, who counts herself in that category. Neither Grazier nor Fulton considers herself an environmental radical.
"Oh no, not at all," said Fulton. "I call myself maybe six months ahead of someone who might come to d2e," the nickname organizers have adopted for the event. "I began this as an educational process for myself, and I really think what we're trying to do is appeal to a broad-based audience who wants to learn a little more about sustainability."
They've already made changes in their own lives. Grazier commutes by bus rather than car.
Nice that she has that option, huh? I don't!
Fulton uses compact fluorescent light bulbs and is taking bids to replace drafty windows in her almost-century-old house in Jamaica Plain.
Oh, what a sacrifice she is making, huh?!!
The show itself has a green soul, too. Exhibitors have been asked to refrain from cheap giveaways to cut down on waste. The show is also offsetting its carbon use with the aid of Mass Energy and staffers have gone on a "carbon diet," seeking to trim 5,000 pounds of carbon each from their routines.
How about SHUTTING DOWN the WAR MACHINE?!
How much carbon will that save?
Even the caterer and the venue are on board. Organizers tout the Hynes for being the first convention center in the country to join WaterWise, an EPA program for water akin to Energy Star standards for appliances. Aramark, the caterer, will use locally grown foods, offer vegetarian and vegan fare, and will use biodegradeable packaging. They'll even be composting the food waste.
"They've both been unusually responsive and eager," Fulton said, "to get on the bandwagon."
I love seeing people suck up shit, don't you, readers?!
