Seventh Generation and More…

A while back I talked to you about using Seventh Generation products to reduce waste and take a step towards living sustainably. Well Kendra from Seventh Generation left a comment on an older post letting me know they now have a blog. They are also sponsoring a film contest with the theme being “Reducing Your Carbon Footprint.” Translated: Waste Less.

I’m thinking about entering, but I’m sure I wont get to it. But we get back to that later.

There is now another easy to buy product that will reduce your waste. Recycline offers toothbrushes, shavers and tableware. All their products are recycleable and created using recycled waste.

They can be found at Mothers, Trader Joes, and some select Targets.

Back to the film contest…

My concept goes like this:

A guy walks in the bathroom unzips and states urinating. The camera is at his back. We then cut to a shot of a glacier or other important ecological landmark and we see a giant stream of urine (simulated obviously) fall onto the the glacier. Cut to black. Then add some messaging that says something like

Global warming is real, We promise we’re not takin a piss.*

I could have come up with something really thoughtful and touching about saving smiling little whale babies, but I thought I would take a shortcut and using foul language and bathroom humor.

What do you think?

The Hardest Part

Wow a lot posts today. I officially posted every single day of November, so I took a couple days off. I was talking to a friend this weekend who said he enjoys the videos I post. I then realized I post much less video than I used to. So here’s one for him.

If you really loved me…

Costco Scallywag Sloop Pirate Themed Club House

Awesome.

Japanese Wii Safety Manual

If you have read this blog long enough you might have noticed my love for all things Japanese (mostly commercials and pop groups). So you can picture my joy when someone posted scans from the Japanese Wii safety manual. And whats better than Japanese culture? Americans trying to interpret it.

Complaints Choir of Helsinki

The song lyrics were taken from common complaints heard in and around Helsinki

Not sure which is my favorite yet. Deciding between “my friend likes his mobile phone more than he likes me” and “Bullshitters get on too easy in life”

Any favorites?

UPDATE: The “ringtone” part of the song is the actual default Nokia ringtone. Nokia is based in Helsinki. What delicious whit!

A Convenient Truth

Al Gore’s end times movie movie about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth can be watched for free on google video.
