I Love the idea of the green police and if I lived nearby would definitely fill out an application. (I live in South Florida)

At the Museum of Litter, I use a THANK YOU card to give a litterer. It says thank you for your donation to the Museum of Litter. Without your donations, the museum would cease to exist. These are available as a free pdf on the website. On the back of my cards that are printed both sides are the times it takes for commonly littered items to decompose. Have to add that info to the cards on the website…

Don’t know when your Glastonbury Festival is, but if there is time I’d be happy to send some cards to you…

Also, the criticism of your comment about using sexiness…. Made me realize, (and I may be wrong) but what I think might mean is flirtatiousness as a way to interact with a litterer and ‘tease’ them in a friendly way to rethink littering.

Love your attitude and wise way you responded to the abusive attacks to your post. Very calm and yet firm. You’re very cool.

Happy to meet a new eco friend.

As for accusing me of censorship, this is MY blog and I do not have to tolerate verbal abuse (which is an actionable form of assault btw) from anyone whether it is toward me or the other commentors.

Further more, your use of oppressive, belittling and restrictive comments is doing more harm to my — and I suspect any other reader’s — opinion of the Green Police then ignoring Amoeba would have. I would also like you to note that Amoeba said his piece and walked away. You are the one still jumping up and down and throwing a tantrum. I couldn’t help but wonder why, so thanks to your raising a ruckus, I did a bit of online research. Perhaps you should, too. Start with the link in Amoeba’s comment. It very clearly explains how your “standard police” morphed into the Nazi regime.

However, officially and for the record — I do NOT believe the environmental group calling themselves Green Police is in any way associated with the Nazi regime. I do however think this entire discussion is fruitless and I wish it to end.

My children have been members of the “Green Police” at Glastonbury for three years and I find it insulting beyond belief at the stupidity and ignorance shown in the thread. Americans have a reputation in Europe as being ill educated about anything out side of their country, but this is perhaps the most appalling association that can be imagined.

Perhaps you would be cool if we associated red pandas with communists?

1) You mean Ordnungspolizei, not Grüne Polizei.

2) Ordnungspolizei is directly translated to mean Order Police. It’s more than just the difference between capital letters and small letters.

3) Green Police was a nickname from 1917 for Ordnungspolizei, just because their uniforms were green, way, way before the Nazi Party came to Power or Hilter was even heard of.

4) The Ordnungspolizei were not the Nazi unit most directly responsible for implementing the Holocaust. They were standard Police.

5) The only relationship that they had with Nazism is that they existed in Germany during the Nazi era just like traffic cops, accountants, and carpenters.

I know as an environmentalist you would like to see the groups like Green Police cleaning up what business puts out rather then cleaning up after what business puts out, but small steps lead to bigger ones.
