Mind you, at 50 something here, see myself as one of that dying breed, so it was a natural. Arriving at the site, found it had been all but abandoned as its driving force had taken a real job. Nonetheless, I poked around hoping to find some compost, and was mortified when directed to a web source upset with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">McDonalds</span> marketing of a Happy Meal with a toy hummer.<br /><br />Seems these folks were truly proud of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">BLOGSTORM</span> of outrage they had caused, and were even prouder of their movement to push for a Happy Meal that included an Electric Car instead of a Hummer. Hello people, what is WRONG with this picture?<br /><br />1. What are supposedly GREEN PEOPLE doing at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">McDonalds</span>?<br />2. Do you know how much energy and raw resources go into the producing, marketing and packaging of Happy Meals?<br />3. Do these GREEN PEOPLE realize how much of the world's rain forests have been destroyed in the name of the fast food industry?<br /><br />This is not the kind of Green Activism that will save the world from Global Warming, and in fact it contributes to it. Anyone in this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">BLOGSTORM</span> stop to think how much polluting energy it took to power this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">frivolous</span> online campaign? If this is City <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Hippy's</span> idea of trying to live a GREEN LIFE, I'd suggest going back to the drawing board.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#006600;"><a href="http://www.commondreams.org/news2006/0914-04.htm"><span style="color:#006600;">Green <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Bloggers</span> </span></a><span style="color:#006600;">Ask</span> McDonald's for Hybrid Vehicle Happy Meal<br /></span><br />WASHINGTON - September 14 - Three green <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">bloggers</span> who helped lead the recent “<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">blogstorm</span>” over the McDonald’s toy Hummers in Happy Meals are now calling on the company to create a hybrid vehicle Happy Meal.<br /><br />Since the launch of the Ronald <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">McHummer</span> website (<a href="http://www.ronaldmchummer.com/" target="_new"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">ronaldmchummer</span>.com</a>) last month, over 100,000 visitors have personalized more than 113,000 golden arches signs protesting the promotion.
