Now, you may think I’m trying to put one over on you. But I’m not, really. This advice comes from the Washington Post’s Climate Coach.
Say what? Climate Coach? Is that like a Life Coach? A Planet-Saving Life Coach? Well, sort of – the Post’s Climate Coach is Michael Coren. Oh, not the famous Canadian theologian, radio host and writer. A different Michael Coren, this one.
What does he do? He writes an advice column. He is the Dear Abby for the climate concerned. He (and other authors of the Green Living section) has advised readers of the Washington Post on home composting, how to buy Green Bonds, offered energy-saving tips for our home appliances, advised readers on green funeral options (from composting to natural burial to water cremation – NB: Those with weak stomachs should not follow the link on water cremation.), told us that we you should almost always wash our clothes with cold water and that we should be taking flights on planes burning re-processed French-fry oil. All in the service of saving the planet, of course.
His latest advice for the “Save the Planet®” crowd is: “eat lentils every day”.
