Despite the fact that we’re in the process of smothering Mother Earth with a handkerchief soaked in CO2 and oil, the whole “going green” thing seems to be taking a hell of a lot longer than one might guess, considering the consequences. But that’s all about to change with a new, ingenious way to make beer. (more…)

Getting ready to throw yourself back into that world of dorming? And do you care about the environment? Well, good luck. Being green, in some dorms, is pretty freakin’ hard. Recycling bins are nowhere to be found, resources are being wasted left and right and most of the kids around you don’t care.

That doesn’t mean you have to throw in the non-recyclable towel. There are so many things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint and give back to Mother Earth. Here are some tips to help the planet and inspire your peers to do the same:

1. Skip the single serving snack-packs. Get a big bag and make your own single-serving portion in a small plastic bag when you’re on the go. Wash the bag out when you’re done and do it again the next time. It’s that easy.

2. Chill out with the AC. Tons of college students keep their AC’s running just because they can. That’s not cool! (Note: yes, the pun was intended.) Don’t act like a monkey when it comes to the environment. Leaving your AC running while you’re out hurts the planet regardless of whether or not you’re paying the bill. (more…)

Look, Mother Nature is pissed. She’s wucking hurricanes at us left and right, she’s trying to drown us, and there’s not much we can do about it but try to make our lives and the life of the earth less at odds. But despite all that, we have people who don’t give a flying f**k about it. Why? I’m guessing these a**holes have something to do with it.

The best representatives of Mother Earth – Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Adam McKay – team up and bring pain to any motherf***er who messes with the environment.

(From Funny or Die)

Today is 7/7/07 and besides being the biggest day for weddings, like, ever, it is a big day for Planet Earth. As I told you before, Live Earth, a concert to benefit the planet/spread awareness of global warming will rock the planet (from all around the world) from morning until night.And while it will be an awesome show, today’s extravaganza is about a lot more than making some snacks and enjoying some good music with friends. Live Earth is a chance to begin something huge and make great strides in changing the way we treat this planet. And no one knows more about this than one Mr. Al Gore.

Who, by the way, personally sent me an email to alert me of the upcoming concert. Well, “personallyâ€? might be a strong word. Technically, I signed up for his email list and get updates from him weekly. But that is beside the point; the real point is that Mr. Gore has asked me to sign a pledge to change my actions and make a more positive impact on my beautiful planet. He also asked me to pass the pledge along.

So here it is: The Live Earth Pledge. Read it, click it and sign it. And begin making the difference that this earth so desperately needs.

I PLEDGE:

1. To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;

2. To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become “carbon neutral;â€? (more…)
