I am totally sweating over this one. I actually submitted three of my ideas to Grist.com for their 2011 t-shirt slogan contest! Why am I sweating you ask? Am I hot? Am I in Jamaica? Are my hormones out of whack? Well the short answer is NOPE. I actually submitted three somewhat risque and a little bit mischievous slogan suggestions! BAH – so I just realized that not only is disciplining my children an area of awkwardness, but so is the art of well, suggestive commenting.
It’s all meant in fun though. Grist is looking for witty slogans about living green for their next t-shirt! How cool is that? I know. Grist is one of my fav-ies and I just adore their “who are we” statement….
“Laugh now or the planet gets it”
Ha! I love it…that kind of humor and mentality.
“You know how some people make lemonade out of lemons? At Grist, we’re making lemonade out of looming climate apocalypse.
It’s more fun than it sounds, trust us!
Grist has been dishing out environmental news and commentary with a wry twist since 1999 — which, to be frank, was way before most people cared about such things. Now that green is in every headline and on every store shelf (bamboo hair gel, anyone?), Grist is the one site you can count on to help you make sense of it all.
Each day, we use our Clarity-o-Meter to draw out the real meaning behind green stories, and to connect big issues like climate change to daily life. We count on our users to bring their stories to the table, too — through blogs, photos, and whatever else they care to share. Except Jell-O molds. Those things scare us.
At Grist, we take our work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Because of the many things this planet is running out of, sanctimonious tree-huggers ain’t one of them.”
