Down To Earth

Friday Quote - dirty word version

In October, the Sierra Club launched a campaign against coal, to be specific, the propaganda and spin that the coal industry has been perpetuating for close to two years.  Called, "Coal is Not the Answer", the campaign featured a slogan writing contest for people to write in and tell the truth about coal.  About 5,000 slogans were submitted and the top ten were put on a driving billboard and delivered to the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCE). 

Here are the top ten:

"Clean Coal: Yesterday's Solution Tomorrow's Pollution."
"Coal: Party Like It's 1899."
"Coal: It Will Take Your Breath Away."
"Coal Is So Bush League."
"Coal: It's What's In Your Lungs."
"Coal: A Dirty Four Letter Word."
"Coal: Is This The Best We Can Do?"
"Coal: The Other Second Hand Smoke."
"Coal: Called A Fossil Fuel For A Reason."
"Bad For Today. Worse For Tomorrow."
