Surfing the tv channels, I stumbled on an all-day “Bernie Mac Show” marathon on FX channel. Caught myself chuckling out loud. And I’ll miss him.
On his blog, Jeff mentioned the tiresome “green” marketing that advertisers are shoving down our throats in an attempt to make us think the corporations care about the environment–and us. But I saw a news spot about a truly innovative “green” idea: the walking schoolbus! Such a simple, practical idea! A group of kids, supervised by one or more adults, walk a route to school, picking up more students as they go! What a wonderful alternative to carpools: all too often, kids don’t walk to school because of the safety factor. With a big group of supervised students, walking to and from school is a safe, healthy, gas-saving alternative. So deal with it, corporations! Individual ingenuity has come up with a truly green solution to an environmental and economic problem! And they didn’t have to buy anything!
