After a week or two, I’ll put my favorite suggestions to a vote.

Looking forward to your ideas!

Thanks,
Joe

If you are one of these mind-boggling Republicans, remember these toxins and carcinogens get into the mother and have an immediate and drastic effect on fetuses. If anything, protect the earth from harmful toxins for the fetuses. You won’t have to call yourselves “environmentalists”, call yourselves “Fetus Purifiers”, or something of the like…I’m sure you’re quite clever.

By the way, there are even Republicans environmentalists. You can join them (or him).

It’s never too late to stop cutting off your nose to ensure the major polluting industries that back your politician keep making insane profits (sharing none of the gains yet all of the “unforeseen” losses) while making us sick. I think that’s how the saying goes…

By the way, my cartoon website (and any other website speaking truth to corporate power) may get shut down if the SOPA legislation passes. It’s internet censorship. It kills the freedom of speech and today is the day to take action.

Our politcal views should not force us to dislike family members, friends, colleagues, neighbors or strangers. It’s ok to disagree and move on. Look for reasons to love one another. Love is bigger than politics. Love unites. Let’s love more.

Personally, I like a few different ones that didn’t make this list, but the people have spoken (or clicked). They are shared top to bottom in chronological order (oldest to newest) as opposed to order of popularity.

January 18, 2011 “The Aging Activist”

January 24, 2011 “The Republican Triple Threat”

February 23, 2011 “Loaded Breasts and Loaded Guns”

March 4, 2011 “A Special Thanks to Tim DeChristopher”

April 5, 2011 “What You Heard vs What you Remembered”

June 23, 2011 “The Green Republican”

This one inspired an email from the “Green Republican” himself. Bob Inglis wrote:
Joe, I love “The Green Republican.” My kids thought that the line “We’re kids, not idiots” was especially hilarious. Best regards, Bob

July 7, 2011 “‘Thinking’ Like a Climate Skeptic”

August 10, 2011 “Michelle Bachmann’s Lights are on but Nobody’s Home”

October 12, 2011 “Wrong and Wrongerer: How Both Sides of the Aisle Address Climate Change”

November 9, 2011 “Coal ‘Mine’”

November 22, 2011 “Tuna to Greenpeace: Help”

So as not to neglect my two favorite little ‘greenies’, the below cartoon was the most popular Hank D and the Bee cartoon from 2011. “D-U-M Dumb!”

Happy New year, all!
Looking forward to another year of eco-cartoonery…

This cartoon was inspired by the Washington Post article, “Energy industry shapes lessons in public schools“

Big Coal may be molding our youth with pro-coal propaganda, but worry not, Big Coal also offers a “green” video to teachers called “The Greening of Planet Earth,” which says that “our world is deficient in carbon dioxide, and a doubling of atmospheric CO2 is very beneficial.”

Doubling the CO2 is good for you. By you they mean their bottom line. Afterall, to Big Coal “you” are either a means to drive profit or block profit. They’re doing what they can to make sure our children do not grow up and do the latter. Of course, they’re also making sure our children grow up with an increased risk of asthma, premature death, and mercury-related illness.

Fortunately, the EPA just set new rules to limit mercury and other toxic emissions. As David Roberts of Grist states, “It will save tens of thousands of lives every year and prevent birth defects, learning disabilities, and respiratory diseases. It will make America a more decent, just, and humane place to live.”

David, and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, must not have gone to a Coalementary School. However, these folks did!
