Do you like rainforests? Do you want to show your support for keeping them around?

If you answered “Heck yeah” to both these questions, then you’re in luck. Simply glide your mouse pointer over THIS LINK and click it with all your might.

Just remember, the sticker won’t help out the rainforests. All it does is show you care ’bout them; the rest is up to you, good sir/madam.

Hot dang, it’s been nigh on a month since I last posted on here, back when perhaps the greatest human being of all time went to go join the Great Spirit in the Sky.

Anyhoo, some of you may be familiar with the Lorax, a fanciful creature who “speaks for the trees”, straight from the warped mind of Dr. Seuss, PhD. Here’s your chance to get a free PDF of an activity book featuring this true eco-hero.

Just CLICK ON THIS LINK to go and get your free copy of it! Go on, I won’t watch, honest I won’t.

Last, but not least, if you’ve got an attention span longer than mine, you may want to take a peek at this Lorax cartoon, which looks like it was made in the ’70s, based on my expert opinion.

I got an email today tell me about some insanely ‘uge organic roses from Ecuador. Since they were organic and gigantic, I decided to check out. God dang they are huge. Here, just look at this picture:

The roses are about to claim their next victim... The lady in the red shirt is obviously terrified, and rightfully so. Her red shirt, meant as a sign of solidarity with the red roses, has only provoked them. These are probably her last moments alive; the roses will soon be feeding.

Click right about HERE to go enter the free giant organic rose giveaway sweepstakes contest, just in time for good ol’ Valentines’ Day. But please, be careful around them.

BEWARE…
