(Denver, CO; August 17, 2009) Environmental advocacy organization Rock the Earth, announced today that they have partnered with the Allman Brothers Band and Widespread Panic in calling on all attendees of the bands co-headlining North American Tour, to bring their old, unwanted mobile phones (and chargers, adapters, etc) to the Rock the Earth booth at the Allman Brothers Band / Widespread Panic upcoming August - September US tour stops.

Allman Brothers Band guitarist Derek Trucks commented "We're very happy to align with Rock the Earth in this effort to keep mobile phones out of landfill, and just like everyone else, we too have been looking for the right place to recycle our old phones. In fact, I plan on bringing my five old phones to the Rock the Earth booth and I encourage everyone else to do the same".

Pee In The Shower Brazilian Environmental Water Conservation Ad

Being eco-friendly and conserving water has taken an interesting twist recently in some countries. For example in Brazil they are urging people to pee while taking a shower. Yes, it's true. I will admit the idea is extreme even for me but you have to admit this is one environmental advertising campaign that is surely going to make a big splash.

Here is the translation for the Save Water environmental campaign.
To sum it up: If you pee, your invited.
(when you flush you waste up to 12 liters of drinkable water / 4380 liters in one year)
Pee in the bath! Help the Atlantic Forest.
Pee in the shower! We want everyone to do it!
Men! Women! Children! Brazilians! Or not! Nobles! Commoners! Musicians! Sports stars! People half-human, half-monster. Twilight creatures! Brazilian legends. Greek legends. Good people. Not so good people. Art geniuses. Science geniuses Circus performers. Lovers! People from other planets! Movie stars!
