Is It Possible To Have An Eco-Friendly, Green, Sustainable And Vegan Super Bowl Party? Should You?

We decided to re-post our article on how much you should or shouldn’t Jubbling-up your Super Bowl party this Sunday. Most of it still works except this year, the game is between the New England Patriots and New York Giants. Not rooting for either team so we hope the game ends up in a TIE.

Eco-friendly, Green, Sustainable and Vegan Super Bowl Party?

Lombardi Trophy-Hugging

It seems like every major holiday and event arrives with a spate of green and eco-friendly articles on how to enjoy it and this year’s Super Bowl is no different. From what you eat and drink to how you watch the Super Bowl; ideas for “greening up” the Super Bowl and Super Bowl parties are everywhere and it can be a little overwhelming. You can even find vegan recipes ideas to serve at your Super Bowl party. Please note, if you do go the vegan route, you must forewarn your guests or just go all the way and secretly add the O’Douls non-alcoholic beer to the mix so the beating you receive when they find out is even more deserved.

This prompted Jubbling to offer one Super Bowl recommendation of its own: don’t feel compelled to over green it. Janet Jackson Wardrobe Malfunction Super Bowl Maybe it’s at your house or at a local bar – either way, enjoy the game and try not to think too much about what you might be doing wrong. We can Tofurky the heck out of Thanksgiving and Valentines Day was almost invented for Jubbling but the Super Bowl is different. It’s a day with friends that is as much about indulging [some] as it is a day that Janet Jackson can expose her breast on national TV. Implement the Jubbling ideas that work but don’t over do it.

Lets face it, shooting and then roasting a berry loving Black Bear because you hate the Chicago Bears is extreme but so is watching the Super Bowl on a 5.5″ black & white hand-cranked TV while munching on tree bark. Find your Jubbling happy place, do what you can and then relish the Green Bay Packers victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers this Super Sunday. And don’t feel the need to root for the Packers because they’re “Green” Bay.

The Label Popper

YouTube Preview ImageThe Label PopperThe video points out that we recycle 65% of steel cans we use but we don’t normally peel off the labels. Those labels get burned off during the recycling process and that waste amounts to 120 million pounds of paper per year or the equivalent of 1 million trees. For $10, The Label Popper will fix this problem by giving us an easy way to remove the label so it can be recycled separately. (Or you can save yourself the $$$ and stick with a butter knife) [Inhabitat]

picNYC Table Is Sod-Covered And Brings Outdoor Dining Inside

picNYC Sod-Covered Table from HCA


“a surreal experience of nature in the city that literally transforms dining.”
Haiko Cornelissen Architekten


I had to rub my eyes the first time I saw this grass growing beauty from Haiko Cornelissen Architekten. According to HCA’s website, the picNYC table is a concept project and expands on the fast growing urban farming idea. Built out of aluminum, the picNYC table is constructed like a holding tray and is first covered with stones, followed by soil and is then layered with sod. It does require watering and how it performs depends on all the factors that affect a normal lawn. Once it’s filled in with grass, you’ve got a little indoor city picnic time.

I thought about the picNYC table and how fun it would be to have something like it in my house but then realized how quickly the green fuzzy feeling would leave me when one of my cats decides to use it as a litter box. Trust me, they would defile the picNYC table before the grass started growing. Then my cats would attempt to bury their post-digested gift and manage to spread dirt on everything but their business. And being creatures of habit, they would continue to drop loads on it until my eco-suavé table was taken out of the house.

Thankfully, the picNYC table is just a concept and hopefully it’ll stay that way. Of course the cats may feel differently. [Inhabitat]

Chick-fil-A Sues Kale Loving Entrepreneur To Stop Making “Eat More Kale” Shirts

Eat More Kale or Chik-fil-A?From my own personal experience, it takes a strong person to stomach kale. So anyone willing to promote it with “Eat More Kale” logo apparel should be left alone. But that’s not happening in the case of Bo Muller-Moore and his battle with the Chick-fil-A folks because they think he’s infringing on their “Eat Mor Chikin” slogan. From an article on Treehugger, Chick-fil-A’s attorneys think Bo’s “Eat More Kale” message will dilute their chikin thing because it:

“is likely to cause confusion of the public and dilutes the distinctiveness of Chick-fil-A’s intellectual property and diminishes its value.”

Try kale once and I think any possible confusion between the two products will go away.

That’s why to us, it’s all comedy. WTF is a “Chick-fil-A”? And even further, Eat Mor Chikin is supposed to be light and humorous – what’s up with the litigious bovines… or is it the chikins that are getting all legal? Now if Bo’s pro-kale slogan was “Éat Moore Kail” with 3 cucumbers holding up each word, Chick-fil-A might have a case. But we hate to think that Chick-fil-A can legally issue a cease and desist order to every group using “Eat More” in their slogan.

Thanks to the controversy, more “Eat More Kale” products are being ordered and Bo needs 2-3 weeks to keep up with demand. Maybe a “Eat More Jubblingly” gear is around the corner because the “Love More Jubblingly” shirts were a fail. [Treehugger]

Guerrilla Grafters Are Doing Some Guerrilla Jubbling By Grafting Fruit Tree Branches To City Trees

YouTube Preview ImageMaybe if I worked for the City of San Francisco, I might be pissed about Guerrilla Grafters grafting branches from fruit trees on the city trees but only because I have to be. Guerrilla Grafters are illegally grafting fruit tree branches, including cherry and Asian pear, to the cities trees and from the video, the people working near the trees like the idea. Are they FrankenFruit trees now? We prefer the name JubbliFruit trees. [FairCompanies.com]

Amron’s Vanishing Fruitwash Labels By Scott Amron

Amrons Vanishing Fruitwash LabelWant to get the sticker and wax off that apple or cucumber at the same time? You may be able to in the near future thanks to Scott Amron’s Vanishing Fruitwash Labels. The Vanishing Fruitwash Label not only dissolves in water with some rubbing but it also contains Fruit Soap to aid in the removal of wax, pesticide and fungicide residues. The Vanishing Fruitwash Labels will still display price and product information for faster checkout. Compared to current produce labels, the Vanishing Fruitwash Labels are less likely end up on my shirt or on the back of my kid’s shirts. [BoingBoing]
