A Little Green Humor

I was recently sent this cartoon via email. Unfortunately I have been unable to determine the source.
Besides being funny, I thought the cartoon underscores the point that often our “green” and “sustainable” activities are merely moving the problem to someone else, not necessarily helping the planet our the community as a whole. For example, driving an electric cars may reduce dependence on fossil fuels locally, but usually it just results on shifting the demand to coal power plants.
Just a little food for thought.
