The online Urban Dictionary defines a warmenist as:

"Gullible, scientifically (sic) illiterate, unthinking acolyte and zombie-fired propagandist of the Religion of Anthropogenic Global Warming. One who takes direct orders from High Priest King of Idiocy, Albert J. Gore. One who puts the "mental" in environmentalism. Historical inheritors of those who believed that King Canute could hold back the tides and that the wolf would eat the moon unless their first-born daughter's virginity was sacrificed to the local shaman."

From the online Urban Dictionary :

"Somebody who believes in and tries to convince others of the notion of global warming."

"Warmer Porn" is slang for disgusting or repulsive propaganda used by Warmers - fanatic believers in global warming - to try to get people to either fall for their belief set, or to intimidate them into silence. Often children are used in such portrayals as the victim of the adult world's excessive carbon emissions, in an effort to create guilt. Dead cities and landscapes, cities under water, people starving in third world countries, rabbits crying, dogs drowning, polar bears falling from the sky into the middle of cities are just a few of the examples of Warmer Porn.

Washads refer to use of the cleaning of surfaces in a specific way to leave behind an advert by the shape of what was cleaned away. Often this is achieved by the use of a metal stencil 'punched' through as to leave the required advert when used with a power water cleaner.

Its is essential a form of 'green graffiti' or 'reverse graffiti'. The legality of the undertaking really depends on the laws in force in particular country and government district(s) concerned. Some do not specifically prevent it, whilst others classify any form of advertising as requiring explicit prior permission of the owner of the surface being so advertised upon. 

This is a process to reduce or eliminate the amount of waste generated at its source or to reduce the amount of toxicity from waste or the reuse of materials. The best way to reduce waste is not to create it in the first place.

Carbon is the chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. As a member of group 14 on the periodic table, it is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. There are three naturally occurring isotopes, with 12C and 13C being stable, while 14C is radioactive, decaying with a half-life of about 5730 years. Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity. The name "carbon" comes from Latin language carbo, coal.

A water footprint is an indicator of the amount of fresh water used by an organization, individual or product.

Modeled on the concept of carbon foot-printing, water footprints are measured in terms of the volume of water that is consumed over a given period of time.

As with carbon footprints they can either be used narrowly to calculate the amount of water used by an individual company or building, or extended to cover the amount of water used through the entire supply chain of an organization or lifetime of a product.

Some environmental groups are campaigning for water footprints to be reported by all businesses.

The level below the land surface at which the subsurface material is fully saturated with water. The depth of the water table reflects the minimum level to which wells must be drilled for water extraction.

This is one of nature’s most sustainable resources, grown without pesticides or chemicals, 100% biodegradable and naturally regenerative. Bamboo is actually a tropical grass with an extensive root system that sends out an average of four to six new shoots per year, naturally replenishing itself and growing to heights of 60 feet or more. Some bamboo species grow up to four feet per day and can be harvested every three to four years. There are over 1,000 documented uses of bamboo, from furniture to ply boards that match the properties of conventional wood to a replacement for disposable plates and utensils.

Those products that are in the upper 25% of water conservation for all similar products, or at least 10% more water-conserving than the minimum level that meets the Federal standards.

A hydrocarbon deposit, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, derived from living matter of a previous geologic time and used for fuel.

The process of reducing the leaks of heat from or into a building. It may involve caulking, weatherstripping, adding insulation, and other similar improvements to the building shell.

Air pollutants that mix with moisture in the air before falling to the ground.

Insulating a building to minimize the amount of heat that can escape from (or, in a hot climate, enter) a building.

Sustainable energy refers to energy sources which are in themselves sustainable; e.g. they are not considered finite.

Typically these consist of: Hydro, solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and tidal.

Note: it is important when considering the technologies that utilize sustainable energy sources that the total lifetime cost is fully considered (e.g. from manufacturer, deployment, ongoing maintenance, to final disposal). Although the energy source many not be finite, the lifetime of operation of the technology to access them is finite and this should be considered. Basically there is no point in picking a sustainable energy source using a technology which requires constant maintenance or replacement, there is no net benefit to the environment or the consumer of the energy (higher costs and less reliable).

A windcatcher is a traditional Persian architectural device used for centuries to create natural ventilation and cooling in buildings.

Woke washing is the act of looking to agree with the woke movement without actually being committed to it. Akin to green washing but more around social issues of race and entitlement.
