Environmental Management System
Oregon state government's Fleet Administration (Fleet) has implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) as part of its policy to promote sustainability in all facets of the Fleet program.
Fleet is recognized as one of the nation's only government fleets to obtain this standard.
This is their brand new policy which reads like a third grader tried to copy the Declaration of Independence and make it about Earth Day. Setting high standards is a great thing but in the private sector a cost/benefit analysis would be done to see if meeting this standard is worth it. Government can say "let's buy 1,000 new Prius's with the taxpayers money" and it just happens.
Chicken Little has access to our pocketbooks.

Daniel,
Your idiocy surely knows no bounds. Do you wake up in the morning on a quest to find something, anything, that will turn your screws the wrong way? Basically, you are bitching about an environmental mission statement.
My favorite part is "in the private sector a cost/benefit analysis would be done to see if meeting this standard is worth it." Daniel, don't you think the people who pick up those day laborers you harass pick them up because the cba says "its cheaper to higher the day laborer?" In other words, aren't some standards, beyond cba, important? Or are they only important when you say they are? You can't have it both ways chump. But, then again, I guess you believe you can. Let's take a look.
1) a convicted felon who nonetheless rages on and on about "lawlessness"
2) a hunter who doesn't care about the environment
3) need I go on?
The State is upset that the Feds have called the bluff on light-rail.
Don't forget, half the people are below average...and you write to your audience. Their "graphic" says it all...government as Sesame Street.
"Can you say carbon offset? Good!"
How much time do you spend each day burrowing through reams of government documents trying to find some mundane and unimportant passage about something that you can claim moral indignation over? An hour? Three? Is this a productive use of your time?
Goddamn Daniel, you are so right! Just like I was saying the other day: Government can say, "Let's invade Iraq with the taxpayers' money," and it just happens, and a few years down the line, you've got nothing to show for it except 4,000 dead American soldiers and $1 trillion pissed away. At which point, you huff and puff and offer this moral outrage: Government can say "let's buy 1,000 new Prius's with the taxpayers money" and it just happens.
...in the private sector a cost/benefit analysis would be done to see if meeting this standard is worth it.
I'm IN the private sector and I can tell you right now that I don't need a "cost/benefit analysis" to tell me that investing in fuel-efficient automobiles in the age of peak oil with the price of crude unlikely to EVER go below $100 a barrel again is "worth it." What the fuck is the matter with you? Have you entered yourself in a stupidity contest? If so, I say game over: You win.
Carbon offset very very BAD !
Fuel efficient cars good !
Hybrids like the prius's not there yet ,carbon footprint still to big because of the batteries , and cost to much when new , takes to long to recoop your investment!
