Top 10 Green Stories on The Onion

 

If you're a fan of comedy and satire, and you avidly watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, then you should also be a loyal reader of The Onion. The Onion is one of the most hilarious websites on the internet because it fuses real news with humorous and sarcastic "fake" news.

It's basically one of those websites that can keep you busy for hours because each story just gets funnier than the one before it. The site literally covers every news topic, from sports and politics to entertainment and science. And yes, it even mocks the green movement.

I wanted to find 10 of the funniest environmental stories featured on The Onion, so here they are:

10. EPA: Recycling Eliminated More Than 50 Million Tons of Guilt in '96 - Find out how recycling makes people feel less guilty...about a lot of things.

9. New Homeless Initiative to Raise Bottle Deposit to 12 Cents - Congress passes a law to boost the income of homeless people.

8. Recent Saving of Planet Attributed to Working-Assets Long Distance Plan - A company's long-distance plan saves more than the Amazon Rainforest.

7. Dept. of Sanitation Asks Public to Separate Perfectly Good Stuff From Garbage - Why make it difficult for people to rummage through your garbage?

6. Nascar's Environmentally Friendly Future - Stock car racers speed up their green initiatives.

5. Green-Conscious GE Develops Hybrid Lightbulb - A gasoline-electric hybrid light bulb for only $89.99.

4. Addressing Climate Crisis, Bush Calls for Development of National Air Conditioner - Keeping America the coolest country in the world won't be an easy task.

3. Nation's Snowmen March Against Global Warming - Frosty and friends protest in DC to extend their short lifespan.

2. Al Gore Caught Warming Globe to Increase Box Office Profits - Did Al Gore really start a fire for a "hot" release of An Inconvenient Truth?

Finally, my personal favorite, which also happens to be a video:

1. Taco Bell's New Menu Takes No Ingredients from Nature - You won't be making a run for the border with these ingredients...or will you?

Taco Bell's New Green Menu Takes No Ingredients From Nature Although saving the planet is definitely not something to laugh at, you can always feel secure knowing that The Onion will be here to lift our spirits in times of environmental woe.
