Keetsa Contest: Guess How Long Does It Take? Win FSC Certified Cedar Pencils.

How long does it take for a milk carton to decompose in a landfill? How about a plastic soda bottle? Can anyone guess how long it takes for styrofoam to waste away into Earth? Great article from Great Green Shoes sparked this post, and subsequent contest. Big Clue Just Revealed!

I’m gonna be posting the results in an entry next week. But i wanna see what responses i get. Hit the comments section for your guesses. Maybe we should do a contest. How about a random draw? The winner receives a 12 pk of FSC Certified Cedar Pencils. These are really cool eco friendly pencils. See pics below. I can mail these off to ONE LUCKY WINNER. Sorry, but U.S. residents only.

Get your guesses in and good luck!

Contest Ends: Monday, the Oct 22nd, at Midnite.

59th Annual Emmys Go Green

The 59th Annual Emmy Awards were broadcast last nite and although i didn’t catch all of it, i caught maybe the last hour or so, it was the first to go carbon neutral.

 

Eva Longoria Looking Sassy

I did catch the Sopranos winning the final award for best drama, and James Spader for supporting actor. Oh! i also caught the Tony Bennett and Christina Aguilera number, that was a very cool duet.
