A Brick in the Toilet

Web Culture/Myspace/Green
Found on: Popyourit!

MyplanetI just spent the last hour trolling through Myspace trying to find subject matter for future posts — sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don’t, but tonight was one of those lucky nights.

The Myspace “Myplanet” profile page promotes greener living and has a lot of great links to other green-centric profiles.

My Planet blurbs:

In 1983, a group of determined students in Southern California were sent home by their teachers on a mission to help combat a serious drought. They promptly dropped bricks into their toilets, and reduced water waste in their households by more than a third. Today, as a result of what we now call the “California Toilet Revolution”, the states sell only ultra low-flush toilets, and saves enough water to fill 28 gallons jugs per household, each day. If you have a toilet, and it is not a ULF, you can easily find one.

Burrito Project makes an Impact

Web Culture/Myspace/Awards
Found on: Popyourit!

burrito projectThe Burrito Project in under two years has grown from a couple of people on bikes passing out some burritos to feed the hungry to several hundred volunteers in multiple chapters all over the United States.

The Los Angeles chapter was awarded the very first Myspace Impact Award last Tuesday, and I can't think of a better group of people that deserve it.

Burrito Project’s blurbs:

Burrito Project is an idea, a tool for groups of friends to become active participants in their communities. This Myspace page is dedicated to the promotion of burrito project and is meant to be a motivational tool for new projects to begin. The projects make and hand out bean and rice burritos, or other foods, to the homeless. They operate as independent self-sufficient groups throughout the country and world. Burrito project is constantly expanding and new projects are popping up on a weekly basis!!

Jessica RoseLonelygirl15 is a fictional video blog staring super cute New Zealand actress Jessica Lee Rose as the rebellious and sometimes silly Bree. The bedroom confessions of Lonelygirl15 has become one of the most viewed YouTube series to date and has garnered international attention.

Lonelygirl15's blurbs:

What can I say? Hmmm my name is Bree. I'm homeschooled, so I guess that makes me a freak. Not! I don't care about a lot of the same things people talk about on MySpace and YouTube, but I'm trying to learn :). A lot people requested that I come on here too...so here I am just trying to learn. Hope you like it :)

I copied most of this stuff from my YouTube profile because I'm lazy (urrrrghghghg)

Declared as the "Face of YouTube", Lonelygirl15 remains the site's quintessential form of self expression .
