Weebly is not working well today - so stay tuned for this post to be completed!
Frank Woodley and I have something in common - being tentative. That's why I didn't post a picture of Frank (who I happen to think is mightily cute) as I just think I might not be allowed to!! So the links will have to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7qVh9zlDe3E A piece of eco-creative brilliance, Frank Woodley treads a fine (fishing) line between environmental pathos and green humour and touches the heart and soul while making you giggle. His tentative yet powerful message is that the less we say the more we convey and the more heartfelt and environmentally affirming the message is - Give Frank A Break (and the wildlife too!). Also seen on the Project TV show where he swallows a plastic bag - presumably one which will break down in the gut!! Please don't die Frank - too many more good Comedy shows to see! http://tenplay.com.au/channel-ten/the-project/extra/season-5/frank-woodley-3854301853001 Great maths project - bit different from Frank's - help the Marine Researchers work out how many pieces of plastic we need to pick up from the beach every day, to help prevent the strangling of marine wild-life, and factor in the number of people on the planet! If you can improve on this maths activity, why not post it on our Converse Conserve facebook page.

Funny funny video which has an underlying message - that greenies have (realised they have) to tone down the message somewhat!! Importantly, last we heard Jim Carrey was a vegan - so he is taking the mickey out of his own kind. The vegan movement do tend to get a bit carried away with their message! Importantly, an over done campaign - do this or else, can have the opposite effect where people want to eat meat more. In our view a more realistic campaign is to get people to reduce their meat eating - by pitching it that a 10 mile drive in your car is offset if your family goes vegetarian for the night.
It's so hilarious even Jim Carrey can't keep a straight face in this skit. See more about environmental humour on our Resources page, or under Humour in Green Message label, down to the right. Some of this site is way over due for updating!! |
