WE, No Not Wii | wecansolveit.org
by: DS

This is a good commercial, art directed very well and the concept is solid.

The We Campaign (wecansolveit.org) is a project of The Alliance for Climate Protection — a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort founded by Nobel laureate and former Vice President Al Gore. Our ultimate aim is to halt global warming. Specifically we are educating people in the US and around the world that the climate crisis is both urgent and solvable.

At first I thought it was another Barack Obama commercial but it wasn’t.

Do The Green thing is back with going Easy On The Meat
by: Sarah

Dothegreenthing.com is back again with another of their shorts.  This was submitted by them on Youtube and passed along, so let’s do the green thing and save our planet from greenhouse gases.

Here is a little snippet from their “How to do” section for March’s green thing:

Put down your pork chop, surrender your sausage, and lay off the lamb shanks. This month’s Green Thing is all about going Easy On The Meat.

Now, meat may be tasty – in fact, it’s downright delicious, especially in pie format. But unfortunately it’s also responsible for massive emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

The way cows, pigs, sheep and even chickens are reared (no sniggering) uses lots of fossil fuels, creating lots of CO2. Farm animals also have a nasty habit of producing vast quantities of methane, as you’ll know if you’ve ever picnicked downwind of a cowherd.

Plus, eating all that meat doesn’t make you insanely healthy, we are omnivores so pick up a carrot every once in a while.  Also, the encourage you to record that you have “done it” on their site, so help them out there too.
