Beat That Mr. Gore

Al GoreIt seems that the White House has one-upped Al Gore, bastard child of the environment. (Seriously, he’s like a modern day earth-child from the 60’s, but without the free-love and naked chicks.) Well, for all the blabbering (releasing of hot air full of carbon dioxide) that Mr. Gore does, I’m guessing he hasn’t saved 500 trees this year.

Looking to save $1 million, 20 tons of paper, or close to 500 trees, the White House said today President Bush’s 2009 Federal Budget will for the first time be posted online. The E-Budget will be available for downloading at the Office of Management and Budget Web site on Feb. 4.

Way to go White House. I’m not really sure why they haven’t done a lot more electronically. Think of the trees they could have saved with inquisitions that they pulled off for Iraq, 9/11, and Katrina.
