Reblog: Umbrealla Fashion from stealourideas.com
(via stealourideas)
Not sure if it’s feasible, but it’s a cool thought. But maybe there’s something that makes more sense? Like maybe a water-proof shoe covering of some sort? We don’t know. But if you do, leave an idea in the comment section or send to f.beinggree@gmail.com

Power Generating Shoe - More DIY How To Projects
We’re almost baffled at how easy and accessible this idea is. Basically, you can take an old rechargeable flashlight, stick it in your shoe and you’ll effortlessly generate enough electricity to power most personal electronics. Camping and, no, you can’t hear me now and you’re worlds away from civilization? No sweat!...
Fucking Hot on FBG: 5/1/09 - 5/8/09
These were the things y’all liked best during Fuck Being Green’s 1st week in existance. We’ll keep putting out the stuff we think people like, take notes on what people gravitate towards and do more of it. Apparently this week its pizza, chicken, and porn. Shocker.

Freen — The Post-Green Revolution
Yesterday, a green revolution was born on Twitter. No, wait — make that a #freen revolution.
DerekMarkham: RT @sheagunther All the cool kids are replacing ‘green’ with ‘freen’. We’re sick of green this and green that. #Freen is the new hotness
No, they’re not actually sick of green, just as Fuck Being Green isn’t an anti-green terrorist organization....
Green or Gross? Reuse Used Cigatettes... Vote!
MrCigySaver wants you to reuse old cigarettes. According to him, “One Cigy Saver Can Improve A Smokers Life, His Family, and All His Friends they Smokes Around? Cigy Saver Will Save Lives!” Does it make you smarter, too? Smart enough to put a link to your product website on your Twitter page? ‘Cause you forgot to so that, MrCiggySaver!
Anywho, what doe you think, y’all?

Win Prizes (like a Prius) for Being Green the Lazy...
This is probably the coolest, most sensible green giveaway / contest thingie we’ve seen.
Jet Blue’s Pledge To Do One Thing That’s Green giveaway asks normal people to do just one normal thing that’s green. No stupid pour-your-heart-out-to-the-polar-bears videos. No magical ozone sewing kits. No inconveniencing here (unless you wanna be overzealous, then go ahead). Just...
Pizza-fy Your Trash
Don’t know about you, but it seems like everybody always has random stuff like potatoes, onions, random meat and veggies left over from other ventures in the depths of the fridge. Often times they’re in small quantities so you just throw them out. But (BUT!) if you combine some of those little bits into one big pile of yumminess, you’ve got the best homemade pizza ever. Have...
You Could End Up Like Carrie Prejean — Helpless,...
Bless her heart. She’s trying so hard to take a stance on an issue and make a point. Whether she’s right or wrong *cough* there is a big lesson to be learned — little people have big problems when they take on huge issues.
There are ways to make a difference that make more sense.
If Prejean really cares that much about “traditional” marriage, she could have joined an...
You, Too, Can Have a Face Transplant!
While the world swoons over Connie Culp and the Cleveland Clinic’s miraculous face transplant (that saved her from the hoards of evil, heckeling children that laughed at the fact the poor woman had everything between her eyes and chin ripped to shreads by a bullet), YOU, my friend, can get yourself a similar treatment, too! And on the cheap! And oh-so-green-ly!

Oprah's KFC Giveaway = Irresponsible and So Not...
Ok, ok. Yes, I will download a coupon for what looks to be a delicious (and free!) 2 piece/2 side grilled chicken meal from KFC — just like the rest of the universe. But it would have been much better if I could, say, have a barcode texted to my phone and then KFC could scan my screen. But, no, Oprah and KFC want to force millions of people to waste millions of sheets of paper, printer ink and...

Move and/or Spring Clean Green-ly and Lazy-ly
It’s May. Lots of people are moving apartments and/or throwing heaps of misguided purchases out of their homes. Or they’re not doing it because the mere thought scares the bajeebus out of them.
Goodwill is here to help (as always, even though they’re so often forgotten). As long as your crap doesn’t reak of sex and mildew, they’ll come pick it up and take it to...
Home Made Guitar Hero Set — With Directions!
OMFFFFFFFFG. For all the Guitar Hero lovers out there, you know the cymbals on the drum set suck. Hard core. Now you can make your own super-duper sturdy cymbals that you can bang the brains out of until the wee hours of the morn’ without worrying about them disintegrating on you. Just grab two ugly ass plates from your cabinet that you’d never eat on anyway and follow these...
Give Mom the Gift of VooDoo
Amanda Kezios (pictured above) is a modern day witch doctor, brewing up some serious goodness at Mojo Spa in Chicago (they deliver across the US from their online store).
With kitschy concoctions like the Midas Touch Hand Cream and Shanti Spice Body Scrub, they offer some pretty rad products with bizarre names and interesting labels that’ll make mom feel like you scoured the earth to find...
Green or Stupid? Miss USA Failure Dresses Only in...
Doesn’t she look lovely! Oh man Google Images rock.
Anywho, Amal Bennett-Judge, a loser contestant in the Ms. Washington D.C. race, apparently won’t wear new clothes and seems to think that to be good enough a reason to win the Miss USA crown. She thinks it’s a smart, green way to live. Let’s take a second to weigh the pros and cons of such a “green” life:

The Ultimate Porn (and Hulu and Music and Video...
Why is TV for TV and your computer for porn, music, games and all the other things you like more than commercial-ridden primetime dribble? Its time to upgrade your computer favorites to the glory of being on your (hopefully) flatscreen HD TV.
If you’re getting a new computer, save your old one and hook it up to your TV and speakers and whatnot to make the most awesomest...
Animal Fetishists Save the Environment
Suzie Jirachareonkul, a South African mom and teacher, has a weird obsession with toads. Whatever floats your boat, right? Especially when that boat leads to preserving the population of Western Leopard Toads. Kinda cool if you’re into nerdy science, animals, South Africa, or just stuff in general. Check out CNN’s coverage.
Apparently animal fetishists all over the world are using...
Weekend Project: Knob-ject Coatrack
Saw this idea for a “Joystick Coatrack” on Make: Online but, really, you could do something just as cool with pretty much anything with some knob-like, round thing at the base, attached to a shaft that can then be inserted into something. Maybe try lollypops or something? Grab some stuff within reaching distance and see what you come up with. It’s all about ease, y’all.

Michael Vick Recycled as PETA Spokeslut
Insecure pussy Michael Vick is in negotiations with the devil, PETA, to become their new spokewhore. I’m trying to find words. Oh, wait, here are some.
1st: Vick sucks.
2nd: PETA sucks (or at least their vegetarian efforts do — the cruelty stuff is legit, though). A brief biology lesson/analogy: Know what happens when spiders don’t eat other bugs? Your house turns into infestation...
Swine: The Other Green Meat
Here’s a delicious non-green green tip: eat swine! As the media continues to call the swine flu “swine flu” (even though it has nothing to do with swine), demand for scrumptious swine loins, swine chops, swine cutlets, swine ribs and other swine-a-licious items drop. Which means a whole lotta swine is going to waste. (We hear Egypt is killing off 350,000 perfectly good swines....

Stale Coffee Reincarnated as Booze
There isn’t a coffee drinker out there who hasn’t let a batch of dark roast sit in the cupboard and get a little stale. Now you can make booze out of it! And we all know alcohol keeps fresh forever. Woot.
I found this little diddy on instructables.com. It’s DIY focused and a lot of the posts are super involved (like making super computer chips from old macs and shit) but...
Obama Saves the World so You Don't Have To
This is what I’m talkin’ ‘bout! Congress passed Obama’s green-a-rific 2010 budget yesterday — with some education and health care stuff to boot. Woot!
Pour yourself a celebratory drink into a styrofoam cup because it may be your last. A shit ton of money is on its way to companies who build, you know, non-styrofoam cups so that you won’t be able to drink out of one...
Fuck Being Green
What’s this being green shit all about? How in the world do you expect little ‘ol me to save the environment — and the pandas and Darfur, too? I’m on my couch watching Bravo. I can’t reach. But what I can do is stuff that matters to me. I need something to put my pipe/papers/lighter/grinder in and I have a ton of useless magazines, so I’m thinking about making one...
