Hank D and the Bee: “Green” snots


I use hankies. Although unlike Hank, during a severe cold I use many.

If hankies aren’t your thing (they should be) then use these.

Barbie’s Rainforest Packaging (cartoon)


You’d think a toy company like Mattel would have the foresight to realize they’d eventually be called out on this, (Thank you, Greenpeace!) as well as the money and knowledge to make their packaging from something a bit less middle-finger-to-the-world-esque…say, recycled Barbie dolls?

Eco-Snobbery Sucks: The Cartoon


As Jeffrey Davis shares in the tagline for his great new greensite EcoSnobberySucks, “every step matters”. It’s a great message (and website) to remind us to stop disliking one another for our differences and start appreciating the steps everyone is taking to make this world a happier, healthier place.

Hank D and the Bee: A Greener Cartoon


Yep, that’s the latest issue of Wend Magazine that Hank is reading! I might have mentioned that in the cartoon (ie. “Put down that issue of Wend Magazine and listen to me!!!”) if I hadn’t recently read Wend Editor, Kyle Cassidy’s ‘letter from the editor’. You’ll have to check out that entertaining letter to understand…

With ‘clean coal’ and nuclear power likely to play a larger-than-expected role in climate change legislation, are we heading for an iceberg? Literally, no–they’re all melting. Figuratively, maybe…

Mean Joe Green #31: The Purple Demoblican to the Rescue!

Enough politicking!
Enough he said/he said!

Keeping the earth clean and healthy is not Right vs. Left, it is right vs. wrong!

We all breathe the same air, drink the same water, eat food that comes from the earth’s soil. It is my observation that my Republican brother-in-law needs the same clean water and air as I in order to live. It is also an observation of mine that the health effects of toxic air and water will equally effect the children of my bro-in-law as much as it will my own. Therefore, it is up to the majority of us whether right or left, liberal or conservative to join together as one group of people that inhabit one planet and address the degradation of our environment.

For the Environment, we are not red or blue, Republican or Democrat–we are the Purple (Blue+Red) Demoblicans (Democrat+Republican)!

Purple Demoblicans unite!

Power tho the Purple!

Purple is the new green!

Demoblicans are the new environmentalists!

The below average catch phrases are endless…

*Write to government officials to make sure they realize the environment is, and always will be, a priority.
*Conserve. Drive less. Buy less. Waste less. Reduce. Re-use. Recycle.
*Avoid harmful chemicals whenever possible.
*Join clean up groups.
*Basically, as Ghandi said “Be the change that you wish to see…”

HG Wells said, “When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the human race.” I agree.

Hate rising gas prices? Ride your bike! In cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam they seem to outnumber cars. Portland and Chicago are catching up. People of all ages, all over the world ride them daily to school, work, the store, a friend’s house…

It’s THE #1 solution to rising gas prices, yet our fearless leader won’t even mention it.

Stupid, weak, bicycle lobbying groups…
