Corny Green Quotes

Since I am a humanitarian (read Dr + Epidemiologist) and I care about the health of the general public (part of the package) , I am all for saving the planet and living green.

I had only one rule to select a usable quote : If you have a clever or sarcastic comeback to any of these quotes, don't us 'em.

Read on to see what I mean.
Note: These are the ones I did NOT select. For obvious reasons.
