Global warming vs. iPhone ringtones
August 18, 2007

Besides working on our website and writing on our blog, we love reading about ideas and thoughts from other sources, similar or completely opposite to ours, as long as they are original and interesting. Here is what we have enjoyed this week.

The Worsted Witch Jasmin, thanks for wrapping the ringtone conversation and future priorities in the context of global warming. Brilliant. Kinda like arguing about whose handkerchief was prettier on Titanic. Recently I asked a friend for her opinion about the whole bottled water fight. She said, “Oh, I am not into the environmental thing. You know, it is just not my thing.” Then she turned around and asked me if I had read any articles on how to organize spice rack efficiently because apparently her unruly spices were distressing her terribly. Hello?

Sadly I am not born with any artistic talents, but luckily I appreciate interesting art, especially when it has a purpose (surely art purists would cry foul, but this is my blog!). Emme at Simplereduce has started a photo blog that captures a green image every day. The images are simple and even common, yet utterly touching.

Another post that reminds me of my lack of artistic talents - Victoria E brought to my attention Broken Plate Pendant Co. Broken plates made into one of a kind pendant and rings. What an awesome idea! I am not a big jewelry fan in general, but these are pretty tempting.

Didn’t I mention that we were once business-school geeks? NPV, cost-benefit analysis? No problem. Let me find my HP calculator. Oh here is the answer. I wish business schools would all incorporate the social discount rate, as professor John Whitehead apparently has posted on his fall course syllabus. Will you post your lecture on YouTube?

Finally on the lighter side, I thoroughly enjoyed Kevin’s semi-eco-mockery on 21st Century Citizen. About the green wash phenomenon, I quote, “I feel like losing my ‘eco-lunch’ by ‘eco-barfing’ into a reusable, recyclable ‘eco-barf bag’”. Need I say more?

Have a great weekend
