There’s something to the whole eating bugs thing as long as People for the Ethical Treatment of Insects (PETI) are out of the way. Don Bugito’s Prehispanic Snackeria focus is mealworm larvae based foods that are high in protein and loaded with vitamins and minerals. Probably the most important advantage of eating mealworms is that they occupy a low rung of the food chain and so the energy transfer is not as wasteful as other animal based proteins. Another advantage is that for now, Don Bugito’s booth at the local food festival is going to have a shorter line.
Sorry kids, we’re eating your science project tonight.

Loaf Of Bread Picnic Basket
September 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Instructables.com is the website a retired and gentler Macgyver would help manage. We posted an article about them last year and even drew the Macgyver analogy because it fits. Our latest entry from Instructables.com is the loaf of bread loaded with sandwiches picnic basket. Basically, you buy an uncut loaf of bread, take off the top, dig out the middle to make sandwiches and then put them back in to create a bread-contained picnic basket. The post even encourages readers to consume the remainder of the bread (the basket) with brought soup but in our case, we’d probably just use it as an edible napkin.
Not sure if I’m going to try this but it sure beats the 10 one-time use Ziploc bags.
Check out Instructables.com, especially their Halloween section, for other Jubblinged ideas that you may be able to implement in your life using products you already own and don’t use.
Jubbling Holiday Shopping Guide: Avoid The Gift Card Middleman And Just Give Cash
December 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment
It’s estimated that 10% of all gift cards are never redeemed – an $8 billion windfall for retailers in 2006. Forgo the unnecessary and quickly disposed plastic this holiday by avoiding the gift card and the 45 seconds of thought that went into buying it and just give cash. Cash is accepted everywhere, never expires and when you use it, you’ll get your change back. Now the possible Starbucks commuter mug that doubles as a gift card would be the only exception.
WalkScore.com: Helps You Find The Most Livable Walkable Place To Live
November 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment
By aggregating information gathered by Zillow, Yelp, Flickr and others, WalkScore.com wants to help you find the next place to live based on how walkable it is. How close is the nearest grocery store, coffee shop and school? How accessible is mass transit? All of these factors become part of an overall score as to how walkable the area around your future home is. You’ll soon discover that cities are going to score higher than suburban neighborhoods for obvious reasons but WalkScore.com is most effective when it comes to helping you decide between in-city locations or between neighborhoods if walkability is important to you.
I did a search on my neighborhood and WalkScore.com pegged my local grocery store as “Quilt Or Dye Quilting Shop”; the system is not perfect. But WalkScore.com is definitely worth a look and could be a single source for answers to multiple factors affecting your next move.

January 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The Better World Shopping Guide by Ellis Jones is close to “my kind of book.” It’s small, has big graphics and most of all it gets to the point and helps you make your next informed purchase a small act of Jubbling. It’s thanks to 15+ years of research into companies that produce the products that we should buy and goes even further by checking out their parent companies as well. [Read more...]
Coca-Cola partners with Clemson to step up game-day recycling
September 15, 2009 By Leave a Comment
From the Clemson University Newsroom.
CLEMSON – Coca-Cola is partnering with Clemson University’s athletic department and the Solid Green campaign to increase recycling on home football game days.
Fans attending the games will notice new recycling bins, provided by Coca-Cola, in each parking lot. Coca-Cola has donated 100 of the bins to the athletic department to be placed in parking lots around campus. The bins themselves are also recycled: each bin is a used syrup container, refurbished by Coca-Cola and converted into a recycling bin.
Some lucky fans may be “caught green-handed” using the bins. Before each game, a camera crew will roam parking lots looking for fans putting cans or bottles in the recycling bins. One fan will be selected to appear on the video screen during the game and will receive a $100 gift card from Coca-Cola.
“Coca-Cola is thrilled to work with Solid Green and Clemson athletics to create a fun recycling campaign for fans. It is our goal to recycle or reuse 100 percent of the bottles and cans used for beverages in the U.S. We hope Tiger fans remember that when they’re done, that bottle is not. It can be recycled,” said Heather Hucks, Coca-Cola senior sponsorship manager for colleges and universities.
Clemson students also will be doing their part to help with the effort. Student organizations will collect cans and bottles from the bins each game day and transport them to the university’s recycling center.
“It is great to see this kind of collaboration happening at Clemson to help enhance our recycling efforts. We appreciate the support of Coca-Cola and the athletic department to make Clemson a greener campus,” said Solid Green chairwoman Rose Ellen Davis-Gross.
Jubbling take: Jubbling: 100%. The chance that one “lucky” underage fan might get flashed on the screen dropping a can in the recycle bin: 95.2%. Chance that it’s a Coke or soda can: 0%
