think green!

Hey there, I'm just here to post up a quick link to something I hope to make sometime soonish... basically it's a tutorial for reusable shopping bags. This is a great idea that has been around for a long time, that people just never seen to get around to doing. Anyways, maybe I'll make a set for the apartment next year! :)

Also, from treehugger.com, I found this greendimes company thing. For $3/month, they call to take your name off mailing lists for you and plant a tree in your name. Once a month, I think. Pretty cool, huh?

This all came from a slogan brainstorming post on treehugger. There's some good ones in there! Some of my favourites:

• Will work for trees
• Plants and Animals died to make room for your fat ass!
• PDE: Public Displays of Environmentalism
• hear the eco
• Every time history repeats itself, the price goes up.
• [pic of Earth] Love it or Leave it!
• [pic of Volcano] We don't just save Earth, we make some new every day!
• It's easy being green. [pic of frog]
• I brake for litter.
• Get off your ass and save some gas!
• Make trees not stumps.
• We have an environment?
• Save a tree, hug me instead!

I emailed the guys at treehugger to see if these were publicly available and stuff. I'd love to put some of these slogans on a tote bag or t-shirt at cafepress (more for making this stuff available to the masses than for the tiny monetary reward, but I can't deny that it would be a perk. :P) or something! :)
