Ecohippies Moonbatterize RVs
Posted on November 18, 2008
Here’s an inspiring story for moonbats:
Over the last few years, Sara and Matt Janssen have been downsizing their life. First, they moved from a 1,600-square-foot home to a small apartment in Montana. Then, wanting to tour the country without harming the planet, they took up residence in a recreational vehicle fueled by used vegetable oil.
They now travel with their 4-year-old daughter, Bella, spreading the word about the sustainable life.
In addition to chugging along on the kitchen waste that it takes an entire hour to get into the gas tank, their oversized moonbatmobile also saves the planet by having a hot water capacity of only six gallons, so that no one can rape Gaia by taking long showers. The lack of a place to put anything prevents them from indulging in consumerism. Plus it features nontoxic paints and bamboo floors, which need to be heavily treated with all sorts of chemicals not to splinter to bits, but which gullible envirocretins regard as “sustainable,” for reasons only unscrupulous marketers can explain. The constant need to beg restaurants for used grease gives them something to do on their travels.
Ty Adams of Portland, Oregon — another RV-dwelling ecokook — recently outfitted his 1994 Safari Trek with a bamboo interior, recycled denim insulation, a rainwater harvesting system, and best of all, a composting toilet.
Whenever life kicks you in the shin, just remind yourself that at least you’re not trapped in an RV with a sanctimonious ecohippie and his composting toilet.

I loved Penn& Teller’s show on recycling. They pointed out that companies like Weyerhauser own hundreds of thousands of acres of forest, which they manage for building materials, paper, and other wood-based products. Truly successful recycling would reduce the demand for their products to the point where a large percentage of these forests would be sold to…DEVELOPERS! Which result then is better for the environment- a managed forest where every tree harvested is replaced, or more tract housing? A large percentage of what ecohippies believe in is backwards thinking.
You mean they think? News to me. Nothing against being eco friendly, I have a batch of solar panels, and heat with wood pellets made from waste sawdust, but not everyone can power everything all the time with solar and heat with waste sawdust. There just isn’t enough of it. But there I go, being practical and thinking. Sorry bout that.
So, how fast does that RV go? What kind of waste does the vegetable oil leave in the engine? What is the engine life? Does the vegetable oil freeze in the winter?
I’m thinking too hard!
I guess another thought of mine would be, why not just sleep in a tent? That’s way more eco friendly. You can even take it with you on the back of your bicycle or fit it into a Smart car! (snicker)
