SuperForest

In the wake of the Peace Alphabet exercise, I developed a real hankering for drawing, so I’m going to post little t’ings and bits and bobs here and there.

(And no, I am totally not procrastinating from doing something I should be!)

Love!

Good Morning SuperForest,

We have heard the future of rock and roll and it sounds a lot like The World Provider.
Like a golden, screaming, phoenix of awesomeness, TWP descends from the clouds to snatch your still beating heart from your chest.

I went to the show, and got some pictures:

I walked in thinking The World Provider was some ironic hipster joke, and by the end of the show I was screaming.

Here at SuperForest, we promote and encourage the use of bicycles, walking, and other environgentile forms of transportation. But when you do have to drive to get around, here is a transportation tip that will be easier on mother earth and your wallet.

In 2004, UPS unveiled what they called the Right Turn Theory. This theory basically takes into account the fact that if one makes more right turns in their commute, they spend less idle time stuck at a red light and eventually saves fuel and money. A fairly simple idea, if you make more right turns, you spend less time waiting in a long line of cars or stuck at a traffic light. But now the real questions, does it work? Is UPS really experiencing any differences by simply switching up their routes?

The differences were noticed right away. Four months after adopting this theory in New York City alone, UPS reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 1000 metric tons and since 2004, UPS has saved around $600 million dollars a year. That’s right, Brown went Green. Now imagine what a difference this could make if all of us drivers did this?

Remarkable for the four words he never utters: John McCain, Sarah Palin.
They never come up. Not once.

Just got this in from SuperForester Christine!
Be sure to watch until the end.

“Emmanuel Guibert, as he creates the art for ALAN’S WAR with water and an eye dropper.”

Here’s a tasty boingboing article about Alan’s War, if it tickles your fancy.

I’ve found a website that’s perfect for junior SuperForesters. It’s made by kids for kids and goes by the name Planet Patrol. It’s filled with news, games, fun facts and competitions etc, and is currently calling all junior eco-journalists to get on board. Please pass this on to youngsters. Hopefully, it will further fuel their excitement and curiosity about the environment.

Funny! xkcd! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
