As part of their anti-environment agenda, the new Republican house has done a lot of wacky things from leading a witch hunt<\/a> against climate scientists, to adding tons of riders to the new budget<\/a> eliminating environmental protections. In a move reminiscent of the symbolic Freedom Fries maneuver, the Republican party has engaged in more cafeteria politicking, and has removed<\/a> the biodegradable utensils and cups and returned to the plastic-ware of old. Choicest quote<\/a>: “The new majority – plasticware is back.”<\/p>\n

Luckily for normal people, there’s a new way to help the environment that can also make you money: Eco-ATMs are allowing people<\/a> to exchange old electronics for cash. Bettering the planet will require innovation and forward thinking, not petroleum-based, landfill-clogging, old-fashioned styrofoam.<\/p>\n

Bonus: States are also getting into the fun. Kentucky has declared itself<\/a> an EPA sanctuary state, and Montana has proposed<\/a> embracing global warming. Goodbye 20th century environmental recovery, hello 19th century destruction! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
