Crafty Green Software Review: Form Wild

Julie Finn — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:00:04 +0000

So far I’ve only done crafty green reviews of books, everything from Weekend Sewing to the Crafty Chica. But, and perhaps this is only because our public library is AWESOME and lets me check out feature DVDs and all the new computer games and order pretty much every single obscure crafts book that I ask them for, I also enjoy trying out the large number of crafty software programs that exist. Some of these are good, and some are crappy.

The Form Wild software series is good.

The Form Wild series is a collection of CD software, and each CD contains a collection of three-dimensional animal cut-outs. The files pull up as Adobe Acrobat Reader files, and you can save them to your computer so that you don’t have to reinsert the CD each time you want to use the files.

Protesters Paint Coal Green Outside World Bank Meeting (Video)

A small group of protesters attracted plenty of attention on the streets outside the World Bank’s recent meeting in Washington DC by painting oil barrels and lumps of coal green.

A spokesperson was on hand to explain how the protest represents the World Bank’s excessive greenwashing:

Don’t be fooled. The World Bank has great environmental rhetoric… but when you look at what they actually do, you find that they’re financing the greatest causes of climate change: fossil fuels.

Check out the video bellow the jump. It may be the closest coal will ever get to being “green.”
