Last week, it was announced that Al Gore and wife Tipper are getting a divorce.  Reports claim the two ended their 40 year marriage amicably. However, sources tell us the truth and that Tipper has had suspicions for years about Al’s “other interests.”

While you all ate turkey and dicked off all last week, Schad was busy saving the world. Well, in a way. We have teamed up with Chicago’s best marketing agency All Terrain to make some short films that will try to get you to think about saving the planet. Seriously, stop taking long showers. It’s promoting dudewecanfixit.com and trying to get you to donate a couple bucks. Here’s another short film we produced with help from our friend Michelle L’Amour. I guess it’s safe for work. Unless your boss doesn’t like pasties.

When you contribute to an organization dedicated to preserving our forests and end up on a list so you begin receiving lots and lots and lots and lots of mail about how to contribute to other environmental organizations…be sure to recycle all of those letters.

When you convert from a standard bucket mop to a swiffer with a plastic bottle and disposeable cloths. Be sure to recycle that plastic bottle.

Here’s a little tip for greener living, after you’ve gotten rid of bar soap for plastic bottles of soap, be sure to recycle those plastic bottles. 

Think Green and remember, use compact flourescent lights, they’re more energy efficient and give your living room that “Kinko’s at 3am” feel.

Maybe I’m absolutely positively dating myself. Of course, in the current age dating yourself is as simple as “remember when tv wasn’t HD?” “I’m sooooo 18″. But during my weeklong Bill Bixby Hulk Marathon my thoughts turned to returnable bottles. I have very fond memories of plopping down to watch The Hulk as a kid, and nothing went with the Hulk like a returnable bottle of RC Cola. You see, back in the era we call “pre-1985″ you used to buy a six pack and pay fifteen cents extra. Then you’d drink your cola shamefully devoid of aluminum flakes and take your bottles back to the store and they’d give you fifteen cents off your next six pack, or if you weren’t buying soda again, you got fifteen cents back to, I don’t know, buy a gallon of gas or put your kid through private school, I forget the inflation rates.

It just never has made sense to me that we’ve gotten more environmental, but gotten rid of the returnable bottle. How is paying people to collect it, sort it, melt it, and reform it into new glass easier?
