Swimmer Phelps Smokes Pot: The World May End
.jpg)
How am I to go on? Just last year I was proclaiming a new way to power our homes and fight the obesity epidemic.
All that we needed was a million Michael Phelps. Children could learn his dolphin kick and swim their way to a slimmer waist and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Their pools would be the new dams.
Now that will never happen, not after eight time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps got caught smoking weed at a college party. The environment will suffer for his poor behavior. Who is going to let Phelps teach children the dolphin kick now that there is photographic evidence he knows how to use a water bong?
One has to wonder if the water used in said water bong was then poured into a compost pile or if it was sent into a sanitation system? And was the pot locally and organically grown or was it some of that hydroponic stuff? That weed is grown in abandoned and foreclosed homes under grow lights that suck up lots of water and energy.
How environmentally aware is our 23-year old hero? What is the world to do now that we know his inorganic swimsuit and chlorinated pool is not his only environmental crime?
