It's easy being green

What do reindeer do when they're not flying around the world delivering presents?They graze, burp and fart! Did you know? Together, Santa's nine reindeer - Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph - produce 3.75 tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution per year. We guarantee that if you choose to offset the pollution created by Santa's reindeer, we will reduce CO2 pollution by 3.75 tonnes. Just $75AU. (via)

Yeah, and I bet you don't believe they exist.

Thanks, I like this. Unintended consequence: this site brings sudden awareness about my own belches, farts and dookies now. How do I pay back?!? Is my utility bill enough? I won't sleep for days now.

Which raises the question, what are the charitable organizations that are officially endorsed by Santa Claus?

Here's the charity page on SantaClaus.com...

Well, if Santa is not concerned about global warming, he should be (YouTube).

I believe the name of the reindeer is Dunder, although I learned it as "Donder", and now it's popularly known as "Donner", because, hey, what's not to love about cannibalism? The point is, we should make sure we're blaming the correct reindeer for greenhouse gas farts.

The best thing to do about the greenhouse gas problem would be to kill every single living thing on the planet. Then we would have a lot less greenhouse gas to worry about.

Think of how great it must be if you could live on the moon - no greenhouse gas emissions there!
