Villa Park Achieves Carbon Neutral Status

[Risso]

And we thought that Lerner's lack of visits to Villa Park were because he couldn't give a shite any more.  It turns out that he was just saving the planet by not using his private jet as much, the loveable old tree-hugger.

Presumably the Holte End farter didn't renew last year.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I think this calls for another star on the badge.

[Rioch is King]

How dare you write anything here without whinging about the certainty of us getting relegated!. Shame on you.

I'm going to get that scarf modified - Proud History, Carbon Neutral Future.

This award might help explain our performance against Bradford. 

Excessive waving of flags would have warmed up the surrounding air in turn effecting climate change.  Well done everybody.

what a load of fucking shit

An unfortunate choice of expression given the deleterious effects of defecation on mother earth.

With the extra money we save by being carbon neutral we should use it buy some players in January so we can.......Oh fuck

I imagine it costs us money.  For every light left on, they'll buy some carbon credits from a company planting trees in Bangladesh or similar.

Here's an outline of some of the club initiatives that have made a major impact on our environmental performance:

- We operate a comprehensive waste management programme, and are currently recycling 70 per cent of waste.

- We engage in responsible printing, with 98 per cent of our printed materials produced by a member of the Forest Stewardship Council.

- Our electricity consumption has been decreasing for the past nine years, with heating, lighting and electrical equipment remotely controlled.

- Up to 85 per cent of our food is sourced from the five counties surrounding the West Midlands, helping us to win the Green Restaurant Award (Purchasing) last year.

- We have a structured travel plan, aimed at significantly reducing the number of cars visiting Villa Park.

- Water-saving taps have meant our water consumption has fallen over the past three years.




.... which is another way of saying they've spent the last few years driving supporters away!

This is good news. Well done to all concerned.

It all makes sense now!!

We could have gotten carbon neutral status by just getting rid of Stephen Ireland.
