New Year’s Resolutions 2007 0

  1. Answer the call of the wild

    "Ring, ring" is so 2005; "Buttons" is so 2006. This year, celebrate The Year of the Endangered-Animal Ringtone. Ash-breasted tit-tyrant calling!

  2. Date sexy eco-geek(s)

    Hey Tom Szaky -- we like worm poop too. Or we could, for you. Call us -- we've got you programmed in as "bare-shanked screech-owl." If you know what we mean.

  3. Give back to the community

    Eating more candy + drinking more soda = helping low-income folk build an eco-brick house. Shake it down, shake it down, now.

  4. Bake up a storm

    The more snickerdoodles we make, the more likely it is that we'll soon be living in our own Northwest version of Willy Wonka's factory. Sweet.

  5. Take advantage of climate change

    Oh, now we understand: It's global warming that's heating up sex lives. And we thought it was just our huge ... personalities. We're off to open a coal-fired power plant!
