  get conscious or get left behind

  06.10.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  As society becomes more socially conscious, we’ve been using our power as consumers to demand businesses get involved too. Businesses are responding to the current generation’s preparedness to either reward or punish companies based on their socially-conscious positions, and it shows. Businesses were spending over $100 million on cause marketing in 1990, and this year […]

  Jungle[8] is of the opinion all businesses in the years to come will revolve around sustainability and social causes, as well as profit. Evidence of this burgeoning trend can be seen everywhere—environmental stewardship and greenness, or at least pretending to embrace such values is almost mandatory these days.

  green guerilla warfare

  Think you’re being green by eating organic, imported produce, or drinking fair-trade coffee grown thousands of miles away? If an Extreme Green Guerilla saw your meal he/she would laugh, then probably kill you, so your carbon output would stop, since you didn’t appear able to decrease it yourself.
  No, these guerillas are not from Central […]

  land of freedom, (finally!)

  Well it’s about time. For the longest time, Californians were free to choose from over 20 different options for breakfast cereal at any given supermarket, but only one option as to the gender they could marry.
  Today the California Supreme Court finally responded to the millions of voices advocating gay and lesbian rights, and overturned the […]

  Just read this blog posting on sustainablog.com and was so thrilled Max Gladwell put together this list of the 10 Ways to Change the World Through Social Media.

  Shame On You, Oil Companies

  Perusing the Coors Brewing Company’s homepage reveals the words “Around here the best spots are located between perfect and just right. Like Adolph Coors brewery. It’s the only place with water worthy of his beer. Since 1873, it’s been brewed with rocky mountain water. And as long as it flows, so does the legend.” Next […]

  random acts of naming

  05.08.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Usually random acts of kindness only happen in movies.
  Or they’re not really done in pure goodwill, like when a guy is on a date, and stops to hand a homeless man a dollar when he normally would walk right by. But what if that same guy, instead of giving change, were to stop and ask […]

  As jungle[8] moves through space-time into the last 18 months of the first decade of the new millennium, it’s time to reminisce about a decade of political activism in the jungle. Most notably, jungle[8] went offline 4 separate times to commemorate political activism and/or participate in actual protests. In 2003, jungle[8] went on a field […]

  “…To arms citizens…”

  04.17.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  From the French revolution in 1789 against Louis XVI’s monarchy to the Russian revolution in 1917 against Nicholas II’s tsar regime, hunger was the fertilizing ground for revolutions to break out!
  The contempt of each ruler at the time, as an answer to the common people’s misery was their mistake and the trigger that accelerated their […]
