• On April 14, 2012, by notsheeple - Being carbon monoxide comes out when breathing I'm for silencing teens and others who talk without having anything meaningful to say in regards to helping the environment. For that matter we should eat more cow since their gas puts off methane gas and lowering their numbers helps the reduction of methane gas and the environment as well. Oh wait that's right plants need carbon monoxide in order to make chlorophyll. So seems we could plant more trees and flowers and talk less or point fingers.
