…SKAGGS shot a lot of water?

Water Bottles

A TOTO HET toilet can save up to 24,655 gallons of water per year, but how do you show that visually so that you can truly grasp what a number like that means?

That’s the question that SKAGGS faced for their latest photo shoot, and the answer involved “2 months of planning, 1 trip from El Paso to Dallas and back, 1,000 – 5 gallon water bottles, 3 trucks, 2 tractors, 1 buggy and a whole lot of man (and woman) power”.

…Paper and plastic are bad?

Paper Or Plastic?

Which do you choose?

If you’re trying to save the world, then your answer should be neither, as both come with downsides that negatively (and drastically) affect the environment.

To see exactly what each choice is doing to the environment, check out the The Washington Post’s comparison; because small changes are needed if we want to make a big difference.

…Death Village is scarry?

Death Village

Death Village is a fantastic Flash game that lets you play as friendly ghosts that are trying to get Kevin the real estate agent out of the front door without scaring him to death.

The controls are easy, as you simply click around to make various actions happen, but it’s all about timing.

Can you save Kevin?

…It’s Website Wednesday: 1968Pennies.com?

1968 Pennies

In 1968, 4,858,503,583 pennies were minted.

Today, thanks to lint traps, pool filters, fountain cleaners, and tails up bad luck, many of them are no longer with us.

To help save those that remain, 1968Pennies.com is putting together the world’s largest collection of 1968 pennies, and they’re asking for your help to do it.

Anyone can donate a penny to the collection, and as long as it’s a certifiable 1968 penny, you’ll have your name added to the list of contributors for eternity. (Or until the site shuts down.)

Remember though: A penny saved is a penny earned!
