It's a Christmas miracle? Behold the Burger King Sprout Surprise Whopper, a limited-time holiday offering from Burger King UK. Why brussels sprouts? Brussels sprouts are apparently part of a traditional British Christmas dinner, and Burger King called them "the classic festive ingredient that so often gets overlooked."

Surprise: It hasn't been received terribly well. >>>

The burger, which is topped with what looks like some sort of brussels sprouts patty and Emmentaler cheese, is only being served in three cities, and it hasn't been received terribly well. Burger King UK posted a message on their Facebook wall saying, "Sorry to hear some of you weren’t too keen on the idea of the Sprout Surprise Whopper yesterday, but we’re confident that The King can make even Brussels Sprouts taste good!" Maybe those suckers need to get deep-fried?

TOP 10 GREEN THINGS OF 2010

via : green things. DEC 22 It's been another year of conserving, inventing, unplugging and well, NothingTM at Green Thing, so as we enter the time of year when buying, buying, buying starts feeling more like a duty than ever, let's take five and reflect on some of the top Green Things of the year. Maybe those relatives might want a new (ish) pair of gloves or a barely used Saved T-Shirt? There, we've fixed a couple of your commerical headaches already.

STRANGE MEETING

Flying halfway round the world to attend a meeting doesn't sound like a good use of anyone's time and energy, not to mention the horrific carbon cost. And in the age of video-conferencing, there isn't even any need. Starring Fay Ripley. WATCH THE VIDEO

GLOVE LOVE

Over 1,000 pairs sold to date, that's more than 10,000 fingers kept warm, not to mention the thousands that have dodged their landfill fate and thousands more now that don't need to be made. ALL YOU NEED IS GLOVE

FUTURE TENTS

The problem: a massive amount of tent waste left in fields at the end of a festival. People turn up, buy a cheap tent, and leave it there. The solution: a tent that lasts three days then biodegrades, sowing the land with local seeds as it does so. A design masterpiece from Vanessa Harden. MORE ABOUT FUTURE TENTS

A SHORT SHARP SHOWERCAST

Why take several minutes of song into the shower when you can take just one? To save on water by keeping the singing short, you'll need some inspiration. Green Thing brings you 8 tracks that are, if nothing else, to the point. LISTEN TO THE MUSIC

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE ALL OF ME?

Food consumption is an ever-growing problem. So Michael Wright asked: what does all-consumption really look like? This beautiful film gives you an idea. WATCH THE VIDEO

A GREEN THING A-Z

A miscellany of ecological vocabulary, a glossary of the lexicon of climate change, a... you get the idea. The definitive guide, from acid rain to Zippy from Rainbow. BROWSE THE A-Z

SUSTAINABILITY'S NEXT TOP MODEL

Can we invent our way towards a greener future? With SNTM, Green Thing wanted to find out. Four marvellous carbon-saving inventions compete for public votes in order to win a £50k marketing campaign. MEET THE MODELS

WORLD TAP WATER WEEK

A Green Thing invention: a week in August to celebrate all there is to love about tap water. And there's much to celebrate - it's just like bottled water, but a thousand times cheaper, and tastes just as good. MORE HUMBLE TASTY TAP

THE NEXT BIG THING

Have a T-Shirt that you never wear, that's fallen out of favour and sits at the bottom of a draw unloved and unused? Of course you do. Time for the T-Shirt to find salvation - and a new home. EVERY TSHIRT WANTS TO BE SAVED

NEW IMPROVED NOTHING

NothingTM took the world by storm, but 12 months on and it's old hat. So Green Thing brought on conceptual Krakatowa Naughton O. Nada to bring it up to scratch. The result? New Improved NothingTM, of course. GET NOTHING

What is the impact of all the wasted Holiday Wrapping Paper?

via :Humantarian News. December 21, 2010

Ask Pablo: Holiday Wrapping Paper Dear Pablo: As I begin the annual ritual of wrapping Christmas presents I can't help but contemplate the massive amount of paper that is wasted each year. What is the impact of all the wasted holiday wrapping paper?
The exact amount of wrapping paper used in the US over the holidays is up for debate and a wide range of estimates can be found online. According to the Clean Air Council, "In the U.S., an additional 5 million tons of waste is generated during the holidays. Four million tons of this is wrapping paper and shopping bags." If we assume that half of the four million is wrapping paper then we have an estimated two million tons of wrapping paper used over the holidays each year in the US alone. Assuming 15 trees per ton of wrapping paper, this amounts to 30 million trees cut down just to wrap our gifts!Where Does The Wrapping Paper Go?
Wrapping paper is difficult to reuse. Children and adults alike tear into the wrapping like a lion into a gazelle and there is little left to salvage. You can carefully collect the paper, flatten it and recycle it, but even then there is a chance that it will not get recycled because of the special metallic coatings found on many kinds of wrapping paper. Some people throw their wrapping paper in the fire, which is highly discouraged. The chemicals and additives used in some kinds of wrapping paper to make it colorful, sparkle, or shine are ofter carcinogenic or damaging to our lungs when burned.
How Can I Minimize My Wrapping Waste?
Gift bags are less likely to get destroyed in the gifting process and are very likely to be reused. You can also make or purchase cloth gift bags and encourage the recipient to regift them next year. In this way you are introducing a steady stream of reusable wrapping alternatives and helping to phase out the single-use wrapping paper one gift at a time. In the very least you can consider recycled wrapping paper.
Other Holiday Waste
While it is one of the most visible components of holiday waste, wrapping paper is not the worst. For every pound of wrapping paper that we throw away there are several pounds of cardboard packaging, blister packs, twist ties that shackled Elmo to his box, ribbons and bows. Behind the scenes there is even more waste. The gift that you purchased at the store was probably delivered in a master carton on a pallet surrounded by plastic wrap. Pre-consumer waste is really the hidden part of the iceberg of holiday waste and can only be reduced by reducing consumption or shopping at stores that are actively working to reduce waste. Believe it or not Walmart has, and continues to, reduce packaging waste through its highly ambitious and effective sustainability initiative. This year, as you search for last-minute gifts, consider gifts that keep on giving, such as an investment in Kiva or gifts that support a local services-based economy such as a 1-hour massage.
