If you haven’t already, it’s time to get on the global warming gravy train. An American Indian company has already jumped in the lead car.

DENVER – Planners of the Democratic National Convention are limiting the party’s carbon footprint through a unique partnership with an Indian-focused environmental business.

The Democratic National Convention Committee began working with NativeEnergy Inc. this spring to purchase carbon offsets for the dozens of convention staff who are flying, driving and otherwise polluting Denver as they carry out the big event.

Party organizers are now asking that delegates, members of the media and other political officials who will be attending the late August gathering do the same.

Well here you go, delegates! You can buy carbon credits from me. Each one of you who buys one will get my personal guarantee that I won’t fly from the East Coast to Denver or the equivalent distance for the next year. It’s okay. I don’t like flying, so we both win. You get to shovel some cash at your bruised sensibilities and I have a good reason not to get on an airplane.

In addition, I promise to try relly hard to cut back on the fried foods and eat foods colored red, white, and blue once a week. Such a deal, huh?

My carbon credit can be yours for the low, low price of $500. Just drop it in the tip jar and leave a note there that it’s a carbon credit you’re buying. I do thank you for your patronage.
