Roanoke Times Hiding From The Environmental Throwdown

-
Roanoke Times, 8-30-10, Pg 12: Editorial: An environmental throwdown; Blacksburg and Roanoke face off in the Green Community Challenge.
-
A spirited description of friendly competition between cities for improving the environment, reducing waste and encouraging sustainable actions.
So what’s wrong with this picture?
Why is the Roanoke Times in the bleachers when they should be “on the field”.
-
The Roanoke Times has a massive carbon footprint that stretches from the woodlands, through the power-plants all the way through their factory to the customers to the landfill.
-
What is their problem? Why aren’t they proactively calculating and publishing their carbon footprint data and then stating their plans to improve their performance and then publishing how they’re doing against their plan?
-
Following are Seven Public Documented Challenges to the Roanoke Times over the past four and a half years to put up or shut-up about “going green”.
We are all waiting for some responsible action to replace all their hot air that’s adding to Roanoke’s Local Warming.
And stop cutting down perfectly good trees to publish your tripe. Didn’t Gore tell you that these trees are important for consumption of CO2 and supplying O2.
