Look at all the environmental waste in this guy's office. Why he's got 3 entire old-growth trees worth of paper on his desk. While those 3 Apple 30 inch monitors look great, just imagine the fossil fuels being burned to power those suckers. 150 watts each if you're wondering. That comes out to 7.5 sixty-watt incandescent light bulbs. (who knows how many compact fluorescents). He can't even spring for a TV card to use one of the monitors to watch. Instead, he needs a separate flat-panel TV. Also take note of the huge personal laser printer under the desk - more dead trees.
There are so many ways to make this office more environmentally friendly. Why, if Al Gore saw this he'd have . . . ummmm . . . wait a minute, that is Al Gore!
Never mind. It must be OK, Gore knows what he's talking about.
(I for one intend to follow this environmental example just as soon as I can get the money for three nice big monitors).

You're funny! Do you really want 3 of those mongo monitors? AAAhhhh! Isn't Big Al a great example for us all. Who knows, maybe he's single handedly causing global warming. Or maybe he does it because he's a victim of the Bush presidency and can't help it. It's probably part of that communist frame of mind where there are only a few who should be aloud to use such things because they know how to handle them, so it's o.k. anyway...
It turns out that paper companies have incentive to maintain their forests by replacing trees to provide for rescource in the future. When environmentalists pushed for recycling to counter the evil paper companies, the result was that these companies maintained smaller forests. Oops. Maybe Al Gore has figured this out and is using more paper so the "big paper" will grow more trees. But wait trees also cause global warming. Oops
