Going green will not be optional in Cambridge, Mass., if the Cambridge Climate Congress has its way. It will be mandatory.

There will be congestion pricing to reduce car travel. Curbside parking will be eliminated. There will be a carbon tax "of some kind," not to mention taxes on plastic and paper bags. And the Massachusetts city, home of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will advocate vegetarianism and veganism, complete with "Meatless or Vegan Mondays."

Those are just some of the proposals put forth by the Congress, which was created in May 2009 to respond to the "climate emergency" plaguing Cambridge. Once the Congress settles on its recommendations, they will submitted to the City Council.

"This emergency is created by the growth of local greenhouse gas emissions despite the urgent warnings of climate scientists that substantial reductions are needed in order to reduce the risk of disastrous changes to our climate," the Climate Congress reported in proposals issued on Jan. 23. "This proposal is made in the belief that an effective local response is, if anything, made more urgent by so far inadequate global agreements and federal policies for emissions reductions. It is made in the belief that our City should lead by example.

Here is the committee report in full:

That commercial bothered the hell out of me.  I wouldn't buy an Audi if it was the only car on the road.

The more communities that commit economic suicide by doing this crap the better.

Good thing. It will be especially enjoyable watching the "intellectual giants" remaining there have to empty their own composting toilets, take their recyclable garbage to the recycling centers which THEY will be running themselves, riding their bicycles to the store for tofu dogs in a -20 degree snowstorm in winter, mowing the campus lawns, and paying an extra 25% of their income in taxes and additional costs.
Do you REALLY think those lying hypocritical morons will REALLY do that?
Of course not. The cocksucking liberals will SNEAK illegals into their homes in the middle of the night to do the dirty work for them. Isn't Cambridge already a sanctuary city?
Go figure out why.
I am all for hanging those bastards before their treason spreads further!

They should have included the Redneck that shot 5 or 6 of their "Green Nazis", when they invaded his space!

They always exempt themselves. Some pigs being more equal. Here is an idea, how about a 10% on colleges in the city?

No; but it will be once we build the wall and dig the moat around the damned place.

With underwater punji sticks? And glass and spikes along the top of the wall??  Sounds good to me.
