I had to share this video clip that was brought to my attention today that might just scoop the award for 'most offensive commercial video clip ever' if such a thing were to exist. The premise seems to be a bunch of BK stooges showing up in various remote parts of the world as yet untainted by fast food and handing out free burgers in order to see how 'BK virgins' react to being given the nutritionally-dubious snacks. Patronising much?
Wrapping paper has got to be one of the most blatant displays of waste that Christmas subjects us to, and the number of trees that have given their lives to conceal our presents at Christmas alone has been estimated to be as high as 50,000. You can help the situation by re-using old paper, or buying only recycled giftwrap. But an even better solution is using fabric that can be re-used to make your own beautifully wrapped gifts.
In the video below, Recycle Now takes you through one option: the Japanese art of fabric-wrapping: Furoshiki.
He's got a meteorology degree! He re-uses bags! He switches stuff off! But can you guess where Tech Digest's Duncan Geere will fall down on the eco living front? Watch the video to find out.
I've been banging on about Asus's trend-setting bamboo laptop for ages now, but it wasn't until this week that Shiny Towers finally got to play host to this long-awaited PC.
Tech Digest's Duncan had a play, and gives his views in the video below.
Tech Digest's Gary Cutlack is talking lightbulbs today, and yes, we're talking the modern, energy saving sort as opposed to the old-fashioned, coal-powered ones, of course. Sit back for another installment of unique insights into the greener life!
In the video above, Lucy takes us through Asus's all-new, very green, energy-saving Bamboo laptop. It's made almost entirely of recycled materials, and everything in it can be recycled after the laptop becomes obsolete. [Via Shiny Shiny]
Viropop is a site that should interest anyone of a green persuasion. Billing itself as "a green video network", it collects environment-related video content from a range of angles, from sustainability projects to how-to guides for getting more mileage out of your wardrobe.
I'm unsure how many of the videos on the site are produced by the Viropop folk themselves, but they're definitely behind the site's flagship show, Zaproot. Zaproot is a regular digest of environment-related news, and as its zingy name suggests, it's a rather self-consciously funky affair. But once you get used to the zippy editing it is very watchable, with easy-on-the-eye host Jessica Williamson providing an irreverent and engaging look at "the fast changing world of the modern Green Revolution".
