That was a bumper sticker in Vermont in the 1980s. It seems that some yuppie jackasses who bought the Killington ski resort assumed that the mountain they were standing on was a large pile of dirt, so they used gray water from the hotel for snow-making.

Of course, the Green Mountains are not large piles of dirt; they are barely-eroded chunks of granite. The gray water did not seep into a large spongy receptacle; instead, it trickled and streamed down the mountainside.

Thus, many Vermonters slapped a bumper sticker onto their cars which read:

Killington: where the affluent meet the effluent
