Compile top-ten lists all on one page. By distributing these lists over ten pages, the amount of watts used for each click and time wasted is harming our environment. - prettyawesome, on 03/03/2009, -1/+181. Reusable Toilet Wipes - Cloth toilet wipes you have to wash every week.
2. Sustainable Love - Eco-condoms made from latex from 'sustainable sources'.
3. Stapleless Stapler - One of those staplers that folds the paper in such a way that it holds the stack together.
4. Pig Urine Plates - Plates made from Pig Urine, rather than Paper or other environmentally harmful things.
5. Doin' The Electric Slide - Dance floor generators that when compressed by dancers can charge the lights of the club.
6. Urine Batteries - Batteries made from human urine. Apparently less harmful to the environment.
7. The Greenest Convention Ever? - Crazy democrat convention in Denver in which everything was done to be the most 'green possible'.
8. Resomation - An advanced cremation process that is purportedly more environmentally friendly.
9. Bra Power - A bra that converts energy from the breast's bouncing motion in order to charge a battery.
10. The Tempuramobile - Car that runs on cooking oil from Tempura. Built by the Japanese. - friday1970, on 03/03/2009, -0/+12Buried, since the link forces you to click on page after page. Gimme a list, a table of contents, anything other than having to click page by slow page.
- Nicoon, on 03/03/2009, -1/+11A component found in pig urine to produce plastic? Sounds fine by me.
FYI, this is nothing. For example, there's a compound found in mosquitoes that are used as a preservative in chocolate.
seriously, people. man up. - inactive, on 03/03/2009, -0/+10They already have reusable plates. they are called plates.
made from high tech ceramics! - Hetman, on 03/03/2009, -1/+8Enviromentalism is pretty easy and selfish. I want to make sure when I go to parks and beaches they are clean. I prefer to drink clean water instead of nasty water. I prefer to breath clean air instead of smog. It is easy.
- divinediva, on 03/03/2009, -1/+8A greater proportion of recycled fibers.
- meruru, on 03/03/2009, -0/+7Or we could use bidets
- AmyVernon, on 03/03/2009, -5/+11Reusable toilet wipes? Uh, no. Pig urine plates? Uh, no. Some of the others aren't bat-guano crazy, though.
- CoD4, on 03/03/2009, -0/+5mmmm this fruit paste is delicious!
- rtd85, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4what about a bidet? No toliet paper needed, seems like that should be mentioned somewhere.
- BrewBeau, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4No, taking the bark off of trees removes their natural defense against fires and pests. That would be bad. But I will continue to use the 100% recycled stuff because it's a little tougher and don't have fluffy lint all over my ***** when I'm done like the soft ***** that falls apart.
- Nicoon, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4"2. Sustainable Love - Eco-condoms made from latex from 'sustainable sources'."
Back to using pig intestines as condoms then?
For the historically challenged: condoms were originally made from animal intestines. - BrewBeau, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4Yeah, it is ironic that the people who care for the environment are the "crazy" ones and the wasteful, selfish people are the sane ones.
- marlb0r0, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4Is it cold in here, or are those your chop sticks.
- brandita, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4Too bad I will not be purchasing any of these. They are all innovative ways of changing common products but they don't seem poised to be widely adopted. I mean a pig urine plate is going to be a hard sell. Pigs = Dirty, Urine = Dirty, Plates = suppose to be sanitary. Regardless of whether or not it is a great idea it is going to be hard for a lot of people to swallow.
- BrewBeau, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3You still have to dry your ass with something and it uses more water.
- neillawson, on 03/03/2009, -2/+5Eww poop wipes :(
- PReitz, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3#8 - Mmmmm...Soylent Green :D
- BrewBeau, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3You're right. If everyone just recycled, stopped drinking bottled water (such a scam), and got over themselves and rode public transportation once in a while, then we wouldn't need these "crazy" green products.
- atomheartmother, on 03/05/2009, -1/+4What a ***** hypocrite you are. In the same breath that you chide me for "a pretty petty attack" you bastardize my screen name and spend a whole paragraph calling me an idiot. Like most Regressives, you don't even realize (or, most likely care) how intellectually dishonest you are.
Vapid rhetoric? Again, pot and kettle. Your whole post is a tired litany of worn out leftist buzzwords. You insult my intelligence, and yet your own lack of erudite compels you to champion such intellective gems as, "inept toad."
Let's take a moment, though, and see if we can get to the heart of your weak-minded animus. Like most pseudo-intellectual ideologues, the most painful event possible for you is to be shown to be inexact. Your delusions of grandeur and gargantuan ego just simply will not allow that, so when someone actually challenges you and points out the flaws in your reasoning it's just too much to handle, and you resort to name-calling and insults.
I made the point that cezx used poor English- that's a fact. You come back with the assumption, which may or may not be correct, that it's because for him English is probably a "second or third" language. On what basis? You went even further, asserting that, "given his/her grammar and syntax, I'd reckon he's a Quebecois," apparently blissfully unaware of the geographical reality that Ontario is a separate province from Quebec. When called on it you weasel, in typical Regressive fashion, by claiming he probably changed provinces. How pathetic.
What a satisfying exercise this has been. I really enjoy engaging culturally pretentious blowhards like yourself, particularly those whose anti-American sentiment is so thinly-veiled. Inevitably, as I'm able to skewer their pretzel logic and faulty reasoning, they get their collectivist European g-strings in a wad, and you've certainly not disappointed. How does it feel to be bested by a "stupid merriikan," comrade? - rokklobster, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3There are companies that make cloth diapers. Aren't reusable toilet wipes pretty much the same concept?
- prettyawesome, on 03/03/2009, -0/+2Nah, they'd still be latex. The article doesn't really specify what these 'sustainable sources' are.
- bri719, on 03/05/2009, -0/+23 words for ya: charmin extra strong
http://www.charmin.com/en_cn/pages/prod_extra_stro ... - Alabaster1234, on 03/03/2009, -0/+2"The second proposal, dreamed up by San Francisco writer Adrienne So, would use the breasts themselves as a power source. The idea is apparently feasible: a bra made of fabric interwoven with tiny wires can produce electricity from the bosom's natural bouncing motion throughout the day, enough to power a cell phone or an iPod. The larger the cup size, the more energy produced."
That is some great research there. - atomheartmother, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2"I'd reckon he's a Quebecois, and of course you merriikans know they speak "socialist". lol."
I "reckon" it has more to do with the kind of outcome-based educational policies you libs advocate. By the way, Quebec is in a different province than Ontario, so I "reckon" that's not true either.
As to your other question, I'd define a radical greenie as someone pushing a socialistic environmental agenda based on suspect scientific projections without regard to the detrimental effect on peoples' lives. Most Americans are practical people, who don't want that. - Todynho, on 03/03/2009, -1/+3Define "greenies", then substantiate what you mean by "most Americans". I'll not hold my breathe waiting for an educated response.
- XkenX87, on 03/03/2009, -0/+2Soylent Green IS PEOPLE!!
- floorman56, on 03/03/2009, -0/+2Sweet delicious people ...aggggggg
- daonlyfreez, on 03/03/2009, -0/+2A couple of weird ideas indeed, but I don't get the fuss about the recycled toilet paper (I wouldn't use a cloth though).
Here in Germany (and in many other European countries too) you can get recycled toiletpaper that is as soft as you would expect/want and as white as advertising tells you it somehow should be (bleached with oxygen instead of with chlorine) in any supermarket, and it isn't more expensive either. - atomheartmother, on 03/03/2009, -2/+4Fair enough. TMI though.
- atomheartmother, on 03/03/2009, -3/+5Tell you what... you can wipe your ass with tree bark if that makes you feel like you're saving the planet, but I'll keep on using Charmin.
- KevinWhite, on 03/03/2009, -0/+2It's just BioDiesel, which has been available at select locations in Toronto for a few years.
- inactive, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1I would think washing of the reuseable toilet wipes would require so much water that it would offset the ecological benefit.
- atomheartmother, on 03/03/2009, -2/+3"Who is this God fellow you speak of?"
It's just an expression, Tod. Don't worry, I'm not trying to opress you.
"BTW, I reckon cezx is speaking english as a second or maybe even third language."
He's a Kanuk, so I reckon not.
"Ou, podemos dizer, idiotas Americanos como voce sao os mais ignorantes do mundo e nunca pensam em outras..."
Como é que se sente ao ser biligual um idiota? - inactive, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1Ahem - water shortages. Droughts.
- jsffive, on 03/03/2009, -0/+1I like this quote from the "green convention" writeup.
"Sponsors encouraged attendees to offset their convention travel with carbon credits..."
How many would have shown up, if they had been "forced" to offset their convention travel with carbon credits? Would it have just been the wealthy? - atomheartmother, on 03/03/2009, -3/+4And the greenies wonder why most Americans think they're crazy.
- Jincopunk, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1does bidet water need to be potable?
- NHeerDesign, on 03/03/2009, -0/+1I didn't realize Time had turned into Cracked.com.
- atomheartmother, on 03/05/2009, -1/+2Thanks Miss. Perhaps if he's able to avoid blowing snot bubbles of rage this time as he attempts a retort, he'll appear a bit more coherent. The fact that he threw in some Portuguese insults to make himself look learned as he lambasted the "merrikans" is a bit ironic too, considering that podunk excuse for a country was a monarchy until the twenties and only fairly recently threw off a dictatorship. Now it's an enviro-socialist state pushing the typical European Regressive agenda. Currently, Portuguese public debt is increasing way beyond the size of its economy, so that'll be unsustainable, and I'm sure in his mind it will be the fault of the US as well when it implodes.
- HeavySausage, on 03/05/2009, -0/+1I don't know about the poop rags.. I could go through a box of them in 1 sitting after a meaty meal.
- beauley, on 03/05/2009, -0/+1With all due respect to former Vice-President Al Gore, given his many years of dedication and his recently awarded Pulitzer Prize for his work on making the world aware of “Global Warming” and though still shrouded in some controversy, our even greater world problem is “Global Pollution”.
http://www.quazen.com/News/Opinions/Al-Gores-Decre ...
Al Gore's Decree on Global Warming is Not Our Only Crisis - tomasII, on 03/05/2009, -1/+2Atom, that was a beautiful thing. Just watch the "regressives" try to defend one of their own.
- compressedaudio, on 03/03/2009, -0/+1dugg for Resomation. When I die you can have my shoes, just make sure I am resomated.
http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article ... - bri719, on 03/05/2009, -0/+1rawk'd
- Todynho, on 03/03/2009, -2/+3@atomheartmother Who is this God fellow you speak of? Does he too think "most Americans" think "greenies" are crazy? More importantly, does anyone really care what Americans (most, few or all) think these days?
BTW, I reckon cezx is speaking english as a second or maybe even third language, a concept that I'm sure eludes you. Ou, podemos dizer, idiotas Americanos como voce sao os mais ignorantes do mundo e nunca pensam em outras nacoes ou lugares. Se quiser saber o que eu diz, fala com seu amigo Deus. Tenho certeza ele pode explicar tudinho. Otario! - floorman56, on 03/03/2009, -0/+1It's just BioDiesel
Seem more like a SVO (Straight vegetable oil) but close to the same idea
Why the ***** don't you ever see some of these ideas out?
Been out for a long time ... you can get one here .
http://www.greasecar.com/ - inactive, on 03/05/2009, -1/+2Um, Atom I would just like to say you are the winner of snide intellectual prowess on the internets. AND your username is an obscure Pink Floyd reference, yeah double awesomeness (forgive the puerile adulation, but that's how Pie rolls on this thing ;-)
