It started with towels. You go to a hotel now and there is a sign on the door saying something like.

Please reuse towels as by cleaning them we are using more energy. So to help us fight climate change reuse.

Now I doubt the hotel really cares about climate change the purpose is to get people to save them money. If you claim anything is for the climate change you can sell anything to anyone. So I am not surprised to much by this. via Mick Hartley. From Reuters

  Eat a whale and save the planet, a Norwegian pro-whaling lobby said on Monday of a study showing that harpooning the giant mammals is less damaging to the climate than farming livestock.

Environmental group Greenpeace dismissed the survey, saying almost every kind of food was more climate friendly than meat.

The survey, focused on whale boats’ fuel use, showed that a kilo (2.2 lbs) of whale meat represented just 1.9 kilo (4.2 lbs) of greenhouse gases against 15.8 for beef, 6.4 for pork and 4.6 for chicken.

“Basically it turns out that the best thing you can do for the planet is to eat whale meat compared to other types of meat,” said Rune Froevik of the High North Alliance, which represents the interests of coastal communities in the Arctic.

“Greenhouse gas emissions caused by one meal of beef are the equivalent of eight meals of whale meat,” the study said.

The Norwegian-based Alliance said it was the first to measure the “carbon footprint” of whaling. Fish and seafood was comparable to whale meat with relatively low emissions.
