Slackline Around the World Week 11: Oh Snap! No Peas for Me in NYC

Follow all of Mean Joe Green’s Slackline Tour on Wend Magazine’s blog.

I’m hungry and tired and arrived in NYC (the end of my US tour!) without any type of fan fair. Yet my spirits lifted when my slackline passed a beautiful fire escape garden. Throughout, this cross country slacktour I ate a generous amount of burritos, consumed more beer than a cartoon man on a slackline should, and ingested countless bugs, a few bats, and a hawk (it was either him or me), but when I passed this garden and saw the juicy snap peas taunting me from within their iron sanctuary, it took all of my restraint not to snap into a snap pea.

After following Mike Lieberman’s (CanarsieBK) exploits as an NYC fire escape gardener I couldn’t get myself to take what was not mine and moreover, what was so beautifully and dutifully tended to and loved.

Hungry, tired, and without inner peas, I am done crossing our great country by slackline.
(Talk about not leaving a footprint.)

I’m heading across the Atlantic towards Portugal in a few days. I’ll include my updated Mean Joe Green SlackTracker next week sometime.

Peas.

Slackline Around the World Week 10: Guess What. You CANNOT Slackline Over the White House!

Slackline Around the World Week 10: Guess What. You CANNOT Slackline Over the White House! Reposted from Wend Magazine’s blog.

Who knew my slackline from Asheville to NYC would go directly over the White House? Not me! I swear!

Well, that’s me half way to the Big Apple, all lit up like a Christmas tree. After I convinced the Secret Service to untrain their lasers from my hungry, tired body I was escorted by helicopter about 400 yards north on my slackline.

They understood that the surprise of quickly becoming all aglow in red lasers explained the small amount of urine that leaked from my dehydrated cartoon midsection. As I explained to them, I did not intend to pee on the White House. I voted for Barack and think he is doing a fine job (although I’d like to see stronger action in regards to the environment and clean energy, but that is not entirely his fault)! Now had I been innocently slacking above the White House during the Bush years…well that urine may have been intentional. And I’m sure I wouldn’t have lived to type about it…

Off to NYC (beginning to rethink the world tour,–America may be enough…)!

Obama Not Delivering the Change We Need

Reposted from Wend Magazine blog

The man selling change a year ago has given us very little at the recent Copenhagen climate talks. Makes you wonder (fret) that if Obama can’t deliver when it comes to the environment, who can?
…oh yeah, you can!
Keep conserving. Lead by example, others will follow.
Or as Ghandi succinctly put it, “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.”

The Little Yellow Byrd in the Coal Mine Sends Warning!

The Little Yellow Byrd in the Coal Mine Sends Warning!

West Virgina politicians have long stood in the way of progress towards a clean energy future. Well, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), the infamous coal-loving nonagenarian, has recently warned his state that they might want to get with the times.

We’ll see how this effects his once-thought-to-be-guaranteed NO vote on the bipartisan climate and clean energy bill…

CO2 Isn’t Good for You…It’s GREAT!!! (cartoon)

Mean Joe Green #75: CO2 Isn’t Good for You…It’s GREAT!!!

It’s true! According to the very intelligent folks at CO2isgreen, who have direct ties to Oil and Coal industry big wigs, more CO2 is better for us!

The Oil and Coal industries both have unlimited amounts of money, the bulk of which–I am certain–goes to research and development to make this world a better, cleaner place. So if they start a campaign called CO2isgreen with ads stating well-researched facts such as, “Higher CO2 levels than we have today would help the earth’s ecosystems…” and “more CO2 results in a ‘greener’ earth.” then, doggummit, I believe them (and I’m sure Bill McKibben does as well)!

Scroll down please. This cartoon is two panels, one on top of the other.

Mean Joe Green cartoon #71: Sex Sells…Wind Turbines

I guess I’m on a pole dancing kick this week. But, my (very short) post on nude pole dancing on the subway inspired thoughts of how renewable energy needs to get a little “sexier”.

This should do the trick…

Mean Joe Green #70: Big Coal Claims Climate Bill Unfair

Originally posted on RedGreenandBlue.org on 8/7/09

10 Democratic Representatives from coal-dependent states sent a letter to Obama sharing that they will not support the Waxman-Markey climate and energy bill.

Sens. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), Carl Levin (Mich.), Robert Casey (Penn.), Arlen Specter (Penn.), Robert Byrd (W.Va.), Jay Rockefeller (W.Va.), Evan Bayh (Ind.), Russell Feingold (Wis.), and Al Franken (Minn.) signed the letter saying a climate bill should “include provisions to maintain a level playing field for American manufacturing.”

A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD?!?!? Big Coal is complaining (to their senators apparently) that they are concerned about a level playing field. That is HILARIOUS!
