shape+colour on cbc.ca.

So this is kinda cool. shape+colour got quoted in a nifty little article on cbc.ca. For any non-Canadians out there, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is the gatekeeper to all things Canuck. It’s old skool and it’s hardcore…the kind of thing your Grandpa listens to driving around in his truck. Or, if you’re from the West, his combine.

My post on Nikola Basic’s “Sea Organ” got quoted in an article called “400 Organ Thursdays” by Li Robbins on the CBC blog. I’m a Canadian news source! My Grandpa is gonna’ lose his shit…

Enter the green crusaders at Tappening. Their site is jammed with alarming facts about the damage done to the environment and the economy by the bottled water industry. (For example – 40% of bottled water is just tap water put in a bottle). Not only that, but they’ve also got these totally hip reusable water bottles. You can spread the word while still looking as cool… and since looking cool is mostly what the bottled water industry is about, what better way to undermine how ludicrous it is than right at the source.
