If anyone’s feeling the pressure out there and in need of a new and interesting procrastination aid, check out some of the plethora of video blogs with an environmental flavour out there. While YouTube and its ilk is clearly both a curse and a blessing, porn and snot videos need not dominate.
A couple of enviro-themed productions include Freshtopia and GroovyGreen
There’s far more sobering viewing, such as alternet video – not strictly a video blog more of a clearinghouse of other content – and a broad array of programming on sites such as current TV (Al Gore’s on board, literally). And there’s still a plethora of porn and/or gross bodily functions viewing available…
There’s bound to be an element of green-washing inherent in a lot of this, and all the pretty shiny pictures (and accompanying advertising) made this frog a little nervous, but the concept is certainly interesting, often well edited and presented, and accessible.

Dear frog! So solicitous of our needs for constantly refreshed procrastination tools!
Does this set of site recommendations come with a PG rating?
Suddenly, I feeling overwhelmed with releif that my teenage children think this is a very boring blog, and thus don’t ever view it!
Can’t wait to hear what Phil Ure comes up with in the way of comments

Vid is a great medium for sure. This isn’t a vid blog, but a neat vid about local action.
Also Frog, you’ve been (a part) motivator for a new regular on my blog: “Saturday Sensitivity”. This is shameless promotion of part one.
Cheers

Having had time to look properly, have to say the Freshtopia site was pretty damn good!
Roll on summer, now I have the (raw) tomato soup recipe to go with the good weather (and please, after this weekend, surely there’s some sunshine due somewhere???)
Mikeymike, not too shabby either!
cheers, katie
