The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

No carbon sequestration activity until end of March

(that is when Sears fixes the lathe). As part of TWW's attempts to educate the masses on the dangers of Goral warming, he is passing along an article from the Guardian. It turns out buying green does not create virtuous behavior in people. The article was unnecessary since we already know people who have liberals values don't give much to charity since they think other people should pay higher taxes so the government can give to the poor -- in other words do as a say not as I do.

quote from article: Do Green Products Make Us Better People is published in the latest edition of the journal Psychological Science. Its authors, Canadian psychologists Nina Mazar and Chen-Bo Zhong, argue that people who wear what they call the "halo of green consumerism" are less likely to be kind to others, and more likely to cheat and steal. "Virtuous acts can license subsequent asocial and unethical behaviours," they write
