How Green Can You Be?

I mean figuring we're soon going to be clustering around a giant burning effigy, spitting out gouts of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and god knows what else?

Discuss.

I am proud to be a member of the highest fuel consuming city, per person,
on the planet.

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.

How green you can be depends on how long you hold it before you barf!

Seriously though, I see discussions of low-emission generators, while I am sure that a barrel full of wood will be burning away right next to it, releasing great gouts of smoke. I'm not saying don't burn, I'm saying to be honest about our hypocrisy.
