There Were Gardens And Trees And Balloons In The Sky

Posted by dannidupa in Green Living, Photography and tagged with balloons, Carrie Bradshaw, Josh Hartnett, Kirsten Dunst, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex and the City, The Fiery Furnaces, Virgin Suicides February 8, 2010

I am saddened to inform you that balloons are now officially an endangered species. The planet’s helium reserves are being depleted so quickly, that it’s probable supplies could be depleted in as few as eight years! This development is just one more way the world is starting to pay for its past unsustainable habits. But really, in all unseriousness, our helium indulgences must be used sparingly. What’s a birthday going to be like without at least one floaty balloon?

If you don’t believe me, here’s some proof.

Peace,

1. .BIKE RIDES.

How I wish it were safer to ride a bicycle to class, but with my skill level I would for certainly get hit by oncoming traffic.

2. .BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

Isn’t it cute when friends are so similar that you can even tell their compatibility from their clothing styles?

Though my friends Steph and Caitlin each have distinct styles, this picture of them is adorably coordinated.

In fact, I got nearly as excited for my most recent package from Forever 21 as Carrie did for her Vivienne Westwood wedding gown.

5. .DOGS IN WINDOWS…

AND DUCKS IN SINKS.

And check out the documentary Flow. It’s a perfect portrayal of everything wrong with the way the world is handling the water crisis.
