What's so GREEN about The Green Party..

[DulwichFox]

If the Green Party are so concerned about Waste and cutting down on Waste Paper..

.. Why are they bombarding us with so much Electorial Garbage... Far more than any other Party

with the possible exception of The Lib. Dems.

Very little from the Conservatives.. and Labour

'Mate' of mine is has been a green councilor, and stood for virtually every national election for the last few years. He is now campaigning for Brexit. Totally confused me as a major plus of the EU is on the environment.

But I think that Hitler was pro green, pro vegetarian and pro Jewish homeland. I am probably confused.

This doesn't really explain http://green-leaves.org/

I guess as they are a party on the periphery, and advertisement is essential for exposure. Think about how much paper is printed with Labour and Conservative details when put in the daily papers/metro/standard etc. Speculate to accumulate I suppose.

Hitler was only a vegetarian before he went mad.

Wiki says quite the reverse.

I was only joking.

Recycled paper bought and printed locally is not necessarily any more wasteful of resources than digital communication. Consider the massive server farms around the world and all the infrastructure that entails ? it's been estimated that some 10% of the world's electricty goes on powering the digital economy. And then consider the resources and environmental costs of phones, tablets, PCs, shipping, cabling, marketing etc etc. In that light getting several thousand flyers printed up at your local print shop doesn't look quite so bad.
