Wearable Carbon Credit Meter
Posted on August 6, 2009
Here’s a gift idea for the moonbat who has everything except a way to measure his neurotic guilt — the Wearable Carbon Credit Meter. From TreeHugger:
[T]he carbon meter would fit on your hand and glows a particular color – green, yellow, orange or red – depending on how well you’re using your public transportation allowance. Are you saving more carbon by hopping onto a train for a short ride, or would the hybrid bus have actually had the smaller footprint? The meter would let you know.
Not only does the meter help you track your ecosins, it could help Big Brother track them too:
All the information about how many passengers are taking advantage of the various kinds of transportation would be uploaded to a government database where the data could be analysed and the transportation system greened up ever more.
This technology would also assist our rulers in keeping tabs on what everyone is up to, so that they won’t have to rely so much on volunteers turning people in at Obama’s Snitch Line. Who says Obamunism squelches innovation?

Um, yes. I can’t come into work today. Sick? No, I’m not sick. The planet is sick, and if I come in I’ll only make things worse.
Hey, do I still get paid?
hey, why not combine this with Logan’s Run and use it to save health care costs. People reach a certain carbon cutoff and it just starts flashing red. Then they’re collected and “renewed.”
I think this is a great idea!
Obama should put his logo on it, and force people to wear this on their right hand to exchange currency.
Wow, my objective would be to make sure that the thing was glowing red all the time. … and to make sure that every statist in my presence knew it.
I would have posted earlier in my support for this device but the damn thing was dark orange. Had to wait a few.
What you do is keep it at red and then claim you overloaded it and it won’t let you lower your middle finger anymore. Eco-friendly technology tends to be mechanically inefficient, I’m sure it would be believable.
Is this contraption biodegradeable??
Because, this Orwellian “Green Terror” device will largely be rejected by society resulting in a surplus. So where are you going to dump them?
Maybe proctologists can use the surplus on Al Gore, the Sierra Club, among other tree humpers for rectal exams. – Just a suggestion.
