Not even the environmental movement is safe from humor and sarcasm. Giggle subtly at your desk at these tidbits of green humor."That's the thing about Mother Nature, she really doesn't care what economic bracket you're in."
- Whoopi Goldberg
"I know they are all environmentalists. I heard a lot of my speeches recycled."
- Jesse Jackson
"Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such
as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make
water, a vital ingredient in beer."
- Dave Barry
"Working in a home office really saves water. When I'm in an office by myself, I sometimes work in my pajamas, and I use the same dishes over and over."
- Beth Ziesenis, your green copywriter
The Differences Between a Good Recycler
and a Not-So-Good Recycler:
GOOD RECYCLER: You fill up the recycle bin every week with cans, bottles, and jars. NOT SO GOOD: You give the recycle bin to the kids to use as a toboggan.
GOOD RECYCLER: You take your used motor oil to the nearest recycling station or collection facility. NOT SO GOOD: You avoid the used-oil problem by never changing your oil. You recycle engines instead.
GOOD RECYCLER: You recycle not only your newspapers but also your phone books, magazines, and cardboard boxes. NOT SO GOOD: You leave your newspapers in the bathroom stall at work after you're done. Doesn't that count?
Most jokes respectfully borrowed from the slightly irreverent environmental jokes at Grinning Planet. Enter at your own risk...
