1) Shower together - Believe it or not, we actually saw this listed on an eco-friendly website and we're all for it. For all of you single people out there, this could be a great way to find your soulmate as well. Just imagine going up to a stranger and saying "Excuse me, but would you like to help save the world by showering with me?" 2) Wind energy - Again, this is a great opportunity to save the world while having some fun. Go up to someone and start blowing in their face. After they ask you what you're doing (and/or punch you in the face), calmly explain that you're saving the world's energy crisis with wind energy. 3) Take a bike to work - This may not be as fun as the others, but can get you plenty of brownie points with the green police. If you really don't feel like riding a bike, just strap one to the top of your car and let every one know that you took a bike to work. Your secret will be safe with us (at least, until they see you driving your car out of the parking lot). 4) Eat more meat - The green police would have you believe that you should eat less meat, since cattle are responsible for a lot of greenhouse gas (cow farts, seriously). We, however, think that this is completely wrong. We should be trying to eat all the cows to reduce the greenhouse gas, instead of letting them live and reproduce whereby they continue to create more gases (in more ways than one). You can help by eating Double Whoppers from now on, instead of the ol' single Whopper. 5) Don't vote - I'm all for the American democratic system, but do you have any idea how many gallons of gas are wasted every year by people driving to the polls? And at least 40% of those people driving are usually voting for a candidate that won't win. My solution? Don't vote. Yes, you could complete a mail-in ballot, but all you're really doing is wasting your gas guzzling ways for someone else's (the postal worker). Plus, with a mail-in ballot, you're helping to employ another worker (or workers, if you include the ballot counters) who will be driving even more than you would've. Seriously, don't vote, you're killing all the pretty icebergs, penguins, and baby giraffes. 6) Tap that - Drink tap water instead of bottled water. Plastic doesn't grow on trees after all (although credit cards seem to), and is harmful to the environment to boot (but potentially good for your self-esteem if you use plastic to, ahem, increase your bust size). That said, we recommend you buy a filter for your tap water because, really, have you seen what's in tap water lately? Plus, let's face it, tap water usually tastes awful. Buy a filter, you'll thank me later and probably have kids with only two arms instead of three. 7) Stop breathing - Seriously, I think the global warming thing is mostly a breathing issue. In 1900 there were roughly 1.6 billion people in the world. In 2007? Roughly 6.6 billion. I'm not a scientist or a mathematician (I can only count to 7 after all), but something tells me that 5 billion extra people in the world may be causing the warming issue. Have you ever sat in a small room with 30 people and thought it felt stuffy? Times that by about 300 million and you'll get my point. If people really cared about the environment and all the pretty Dodo birds (whoops, we already killed them), they'd do the noble thing and stop whining about it (or at least drink the Kool-Aid). |
