350 eco-collapse jokes by 10/10/10 -- are you kidding?

by mwmwm

When we heard about 350.org's 10/10/10 project a couple of months ago, we struggled to find one that was appropriate to our own project.

Last week we had an epiphany, and we've launched an 11th-hour experiment, to gather 350 jokes about environmental collapse by 10/10/10, and then make that database freely available for nonprofit use.

Why jokes? Because by laughing, we understand differently.

And because environmentalists are, according to most conservative pundits, a humorless lot, too serious by half, and we want to prove them wrong.

Below are the 40 jokes we've collected so far (only 310 to go!), in descending order of recency, not quality. There are some good ones!

If you'd like to participate, please do, either in the comments (I'll copy and paste 'em!) or directly, on the 350jokes page on our site.

Think like a stand-up comedian!
