I live in the most environmentally friendly city on the planet.
My city is the home of Krispy Kreme and Reynolds Tobacco. The products they make are doing great things to solve the world's overpopulation problem.

What is your city doing to save the Earth?

3. Not my town in
particular, but Wisconsin in general. But I must say, I succumb to these several times a grilling season.

4. BRATS!
In Alabama they actually pronounce it that way.
Us good ol' boys who have spent a few years out of the state know they're 'brots'.

All these businesses are within 30 miles of my house. I am out in he boonies but we're still working hard to save the earth!

Seriously though, there are many in this area that actually do try to lower their impact on earth.

9. That's probably not helping much
I don't know the specifics but I know that in general Mercedes has a reputation for making very safe vehicles.

10. M-Class
I don't know about their efficency or safety.

I do know that that company has meant a lot to the economy for the area, and even the state. Lots of pretty good jobs. Governor Jim Folsom Jr. (D) made the deal. "Little Jim" could be a great governor again, and I'm still hoping. (Please.)

Maybe, next, he could land a (safe) Volvo plant.

:hi:

13. Ah, the companies that fatten people and fill them with nicotine and formaldehyde!
So when you get buried, the formaldehyde will keep you in one piece, and the fat will keep the worms fed for years!

Of course, if you get cremated, the fat will keep the flames going for a while and the formaldehyde will be inhaled by everybody, I suppose.
