Going Green Snarkily

Lava lampRadar's list of 100 ways to go green got more than a few laughs out of me. Graveyard humor, I think it's called. Here are a few samples:

  • Making sure the Hummer's fridge is outfitted with plenty of organically grown veggies.
  • Switching from plastic water bottles to a wooden cup tethered around neck with twine.
  • Naming firstborn "Inconvenient Truth."
  • Forgoing baths for rigorous cycle of "wind-bathing."
  • Devoting left pocket of jeans solely to composting.
  • Unplugging all but our most essential lava lamps.
  • When driving, flagellating self at every red light.
  • Getting the Guardian Angels involved.
  • No longer melting polar ice caps with our sizzling hot freakdancing.
Also amusing and disturbing were their articles Let the End Times Roll (a series of apocalyptic scenarios from bird flu to water shortages) and Little Shop of Horrors (with helpful if sarcastic suggestions on how to survive Armaggedon).

Always good for a bit of cheery reading before bedtime.
