Eco-jokes don't change the facts...

... everyone should understand that. Because the environmental problems of our time are real and endanger every life on earth - including our own and that of our children and grandchildren. Short, green jokes may provide some distraction from this fact - but the ecological challenges remain.

Nevertheless, even as an environmentally conscious person, you shouldn't take everything too seriously and should be able to laugh at yourself from time to time. Anything else can be quite depressing in the long run. Patience is required - and the waiting time is much easier to bear if you laugh now and again.
