GoGreenTube.Com Eyes Global Environmental Community, YouTube Style

For many, George Carlin’s cherished riff on conservation concerns may seem out of place on a new video-laden Web site dedicated to all things environmental.

“And the greatest arrogance of all: ‘Save the planet.’ What? Are these (expletive) people kidding me?” the late comedian says. “Save the planet? We don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We haven’t even learned how to care for one another. We’re going to save the (expletive) planet? I’m getting tired of that (expletive). I’m tired of (expletive) Earth Day. I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren’t enough bicycle paths.”

Yet Carlin’s always-unique take on environmentalism has its place on http://www.gogreentube.com/">www.gogreentube.com, according to Michael Shell, the site’s founder and chief executive officer.

“You have to make education fun and people have to want to go to your site again and again and again,” Shell told TMC during an interview today. “They have to want to see the new stuff that comes on the side and to do research on the site. You’ve got to make it so it’s a fun experience.”

2. I like how it's always the "magnets."

The antigravity saucer cranks always claim it's the magnets too.

If you just arrange those wacky magnets in the right way, the laws of physics bend to your will!
