Rick Moranis – yes, that Rick Moranis – has a magnificently tongue-in-cheek o/ed in the New York Times today (available on his website so you don’t have to visit the Times site). It purports to be a note to tenants from a concerned Director of a co/op building. Here’s how it starts:

As much as it pains me to needlessly waste paper products, here are the suggestions I discussed at the annual shareholders meeting last week. I apologize for having spoken at such length; I’m just so incredibly excited about the idea of having our whole co-op reduce its carbon footprint.
As you know Bob and I have canceled our annual post-holiday trips to Anguilla and Taos, in order to reduce our personal carbon footprints. (Bob is busy with deals anyway, two of which involve ethanol!) So I’ll be around until March break to begin implementing these changes so that we all can help save our glorious planet.

It gets better – the seven point plan for saving the planet has me resolved to dig out My Blue Heaven to watch again tonight.
