Environmentalism may be necessary to the survival of life on planet Earth but does it have to be so boring? Many people are desperately trying to create an answer of “no” to this question, but delivering hilarious jokes about cow farts and bad breath that changes the climate can be challenging.

After a little bit of digging, a few funny sources of environmental comedy turned up.

If you are looking for something a little bit different, then you should check out the Grinning Planet website [www.grinningplanet.com], where they have some comic strips themed around environmental topics [www.grinningplanet.com] (even if loosely at times).

It seems that a good amount of environmental humor is told through the use of cartoons. This website [www.chrismadden.co.uk] collects together a couple of cartoons from Chris Madden, an English cartoonist.

THE DAILY SHOW has a funny segment posted on their website. It might just make you laugh. Find it here [www.thedailyshow.com].

In bringing you more posts about comedy in the world of environmentalism, we hope to make the subject as exciting as possible, come back and see new posts from the blog on Eco-mmunity Homepage [www.sundancechannel.com]. Thanks again for joining us in THE GREEN BLOG.

Living on planet earth is not the only thing that human beings share with animals. We also share the need to procreate. In most species, making little ones often entails various types of courtship rituals. Discover what kind of animal courtship most closely matches your particular style of romance in the Greenporno Quiz.

The Greenporno Quiz [www.sundancechannel.com] was designed to be fun and silly, and we certainly hope that you enjoy it. We will warn you not to show this to the children in your life, as sometimes stuff like this can be too much information for them.

BIG IDEAS FOR A SMALL PLANET: BUILD

Building is an important part of the green movement. Some things can be rebuilt into eco-friendly places while others have to be made from scratch in order to obtain LEED certification. Recently, Kodak Film has demolished old factories and have started building new, hi-tech factories in their place.

This week’s episode of BIG IDEAS includes some interesting personalities and projects that focus around building homes and public buildings.

Here is a short clip that will give you a taste for some of this week’s events.

ECO BIZ: FUTURE OF LIFE

As vegetation throughout the planet is a central part of providing habitat for life forms, the organization has partnered with the Girl Scouts of America and has trained thousands of kids on how to plant trees.

Sundance Channel’s Eco-mmunity Map is now a few weeks old. The process of bringing this environmental reform tool into existence was long and arduous. While a rest might be nice, the clock is ticking on planet earth and more must be done to improve the Map. All of the Sundance Channel employees who have worked on this Map ponder new additions to functionality as well as ways of refining the existing tools used by the Eco-mmunity. Oftentimes, being too close to a project can make it harder to see problems or necessary additions that could improve user experience. Therefore, we are hoping our users could provide us with some needed insights.

Help from our exceptional Eco-mmunity Members would be delightfully useful in making the Map a stronger force in creating positive changes in every day lives and businesses. Please take this opportunity to login to our GREEN discussion area and help us do the right thing. After all, there is a tremendous potential for insight and innovation in the American spirit. Share some of yours with us!
