Energy conservation is the key for the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree this year. According to The Hill:
“The tree won’t be the only “green” component in the Christmas celebration . . . The tree will be decorated with energy-efficient LED lights, part of the Capitol’s efforts to conserve energy.”
Now, who better to light this 70-foot icon of conservation than Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who will then jet back to California on her huge, energy inefficient private plane.
LMAO! Sell her some carbon credits to offset the plane ride. Hopefully the lights are going on an organic Christmas tree or are they now called organic holiday trees?
BTW, I’m not pimping organic trees, just seeing if any douchebags are Gogling the term.
You may as well disclose your prices for those organic trees… We see they come with maple syrup and a sticker — but what about the LEDs?
4-5′ Organic Christmas Tree $1700.00
6-7″ Organic Christmas Tree $2300.00
8-9′ Organic Christmas Tree $2900.00
10-12′ Organic Christmas Tree $3755.00
Seems reasonable to me… how about a banner ad? :/ Slainte!
Does she have us taxpayers footing the bill for carbon-offsets on that jet?
My trees don’t come with LED’s! As it is now, my 8′-9′ trees cost me $45 and selling them for a mere $2900 does not leave any room for freebies. Since sales are down a little, I might throw in some organic snow.
Organic snow? This has gotta be good…
