REINDEER-drawn sleds have been slammed as environmentally unfriendly, because the carrot-munching animals produce the greenhouse gas methane in their wind.
Now Santa has been urged to ditch his sleigh team and start travelling on public transport to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions.
Just a little over the edge if you ask me, get a life.
As crazy as hauling timber into the woods. Horace
