when that grandchild asks me what I did for the planet

Ontario's Pravda is reporting the head of the province has written, in introducing "the plan": “When my grandchildren ask me what we did to help our planet I want to be proud of what we accomplished.” When that child asks me I'll be able to say I had a house powered solely on electricity, got me a NEST thermostat, between my wife and I planted hundreds of trees (not evenly divided), we cleaned up the ash bore damage and supplemented electric heat with a high efficiency wood stove, and at times we even grew our own carrots - and then I just might turn around, drop trou and let the sun shine out of my ass. Should I have my own grandchildren, that won't likely be my response - particularly as if they ask this question they'll probably notice the gas stove, and barbeque... And furnace. What's in the plan  that makes it the thing wherein Kathleen will catch the conscience of the king grandchild?
