The TV networks have jumped on the eco band wagon, dropping in sub-plots here and there about sustainability etc., it’s just too bad the HBO series Six Feet Under is off the air because I’ve got the perfect green plug for them. Taking eco-friendliness beyond the grave.  I’m talking environmentally friendly coffins.  Take a minute to let that sink in.  Does it make you cringe just a bit?  Yeah, me too. 

CreativeCoffins.com is the answer for those looking to make their eco efforts last longer than them.  This site offers coffins “made from cartonboard materials produced from unbleached pulp containing at least 60% recycled paper plus wood pulp sourced from sustainable forests.” They come in a ridiculous array of designs; you can find a customized coffin for everyone; the floral lover, the wine connoisseur, the sports fanatic, someone who just can’t get enough cheetah print, or you can go with the good ole’ coffin finished to look like real wood or marble.  If none of these options suit you or your loved one’s needs, then why don’t you just go ahead and coffin your own. You come up with your design and they will follow your instructions as closely as possible.  As they put it, they’re offering you the “opportunity to express yourself perfectly for one last time.”

It’s summer time, and that means time for the annual summer vacation.  With gas prices so high many Americans are cutting back on their travel time but those of you who just need to get the hell out of dodge, do it to it.  Sure the plane ticket is a little more expensive this summer than last summer’s vacation ticket but hey, the lifelong memories and experiences are worth it right?  Of course they are, but don’t forget the lifelong impact your traveling has on the environment.  Flying emits a heck of a lot of carbon emissions so travel wisely.  Look for straight through flights to save on emissions put out by landing and taking off, who likes lay-overs anyway?  And most importantly, offset your summer vaca carbon emissions with www.carbonfund.org.  By donating to carbon offsetting projects you’ll be able to enjoy a guilt-free summer vacation.  Carbonfund has made it super easy for you too, check and see how many miles you flew or drove and it calculates for you the donation amount needed to offset your travels.

Yes it’s America’s birthday again, so go shoot off some horribly loud pyrotechnics, cover everything in American flags and stuff your face with burgers and dogs.  But while you’re filling up your belly with the BBQ classics you can feel a little better about shooting off those fireworks when you’re eating off a biodegradable plate.  Check out locations for recyled paper-plates or for biodegradable plates.  Eat in style and conscientiousness.
