Eco-Snitching: There’s an app for that!

This is creepy.

Via Free Republic, Watts Up With That has the eco-spy scoop:

This can also be useful for catching those who talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk. This might just backfire on more than  a few people. But since the green movement started this Stasi-esque information gathering campaign on “eco-offenders” [their word], that makes it OK to snap photos of green activists too, right? I could see some examples.  Bill McKibben leaves lights on after leaving a room? Joe Romm takes his car instead of the bus? Monbiot lets his car idle at a stoplight? Jim Hansen uses electricity generated by coal? William Connolley leaves his computer on after a frenzied all-nighter of Wikipedia editing?  Gore uses the elevator to his penthouse suite in SFO rather than take the stairs? Lots of opportunity there.

Now before the usual suspects get up in arms about my satire, let me say that I’m a fan of energy conservation. As many readers know, I walk the walk with my own energy saving measures. In fact just last week I upgraded part of my office to LED lighting, and I’m so impressed with it I’m going to showcase the product here. I’m not, however, going to turn in my neighbor because he left his porch light on one night or forgot to turn off his sprinkler when it rains. Yet you’ll find examples like that on the EcoSnoop web page.

Here’s what they say about the iPhone app campaign: …..

I’m sure Dear Leader will approve.

One Response to Eco-Snitching: There’s an app for that!

    Oh yeah, I’m going to visit Thomas Friedman’s and Algore’s mansions to report these heinous offenders. It looks like the only one with “lights out” is the lovely “Staci”. I think that looks like an endangered species stapled to the side of her head. I’m taking a snap of it now for reporting. Sheesh, what kind of screaming Nazi brown shirt, rat fink, snitch on your fellow man program is this? The next thing you know, it’ll be on orbiting satellites. If they knocked on my door, I would call the cops and get a restraining order on these eco nuts. MYOB.
