Zimbabwe leads in tackling global warming
This email has been circulated widely amongst Zimbabweans via email. Laughter at a time of stress!
In recent weeks, there has been much hullabaloo surrounding Zimbabwe’s election to head the United Nations Sustainable Development commission, with many saying the Mugabe government has been utterly useless at environmental management.
This is of course a malicious fabrication encouraged by Western Imperialists like the Blair and Bush governments. In fact, Zimbabwe has taken some bold initiatives to deal with emissions. It started phasing out petrol and diesel a few years ago.
This has seen the introduction of the pedal bicycle police patrol and reaction force, which has been increasing in popularity over the past months, as motorized cars are apparently being phased out.
Then it came up with a marvelous population control plan, donating a third of its citizens to other countries. The reduction in the population will naturally have a big impact on shrinking the country’s carbon footprint, though some in the media have mischievously argued that any reduction is a drop in the ocean next to the emissions from the Zimbabwe Parliament.
A few weeks ago it announced that it was doing away with electricity in cities.
This week Harare said that, as part of a major “mechanisation programme”, it was encouraging farmers to use ox-drawn carts and ploughs instead of tractors.
