Let's see:
Greenhorns in the financial sector make lots of money. Flush with cash, Mr A, a hedge fund trader - who may not be as green as he is cabbage-looking - bought a Hummer. He drove it from MacRitchie, in the city's green lung, to Punggol, the proposed site for Singapore's new green homes. He had his girlfriend, Ms B, with him, to whom he had just given a green gown at MacRitchie. She looked a little green about the gills, poor girl, being prone to car-sickness. Along the way, they saw gardeners with green fingers keeping in trim the roadside greenery, and many pedestrians who looked green with envy as they saw the Hummer zip past them. A few days later, one among Singapore's green ink brigade sent a letter to The Straits Times' Forum Page calling on the Government to ban greenhouse gas-spewing Hummers. We need some green-hat thinking on global warming, he said. "
