I hope everyone here has a sense of humor, because as always, you’re going to have to whip it out while you watch Zaproot. (Your sense of humor.) In this episode, Jessica Williamson critiques (and verbally threatens) the blind. Shocking. We also get to see how a pill-sized object can give off more light than a streetlamp, how proton packs are saving energy in San Francisco, and Patagonia’s Footprint Chronicles let us stalk our clothing before it gets to our closets. What? Just watch the video.

Zaproot: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

Filed Under Conscious Commerce, eCo TV | 1 Comment
Jessica Williamson of Zaproot gives you the lowdown on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also known as the Eastern Garbage Patch. This “plastic soup” in the one of the ocean’s gyres spans an area larger than the State of Texas and holds six times more plastic than plankton! A research vessel called The Algalita sailed to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to assess the situation.
eCo Tip: To reduce the amount of plastic collecting in the ocean, replace “disposables” in your life with reusables.
- Use stainless steel water bottles, on-the-go utensil kits, reusable shopping totes, travel coffee mugs, and non-disposable razors.
- When you choose products, take the amount of packaging into consideration before you buy. Less is best.

- If you’re a kid or know one who’s into helping the planet, link up with the Roots and Shoots Reusable Bag Campaign.

By Jenn Breckenridge
Filed Under eCo TV | 1 Comment
Fast talking Kiwi Jessica Williamson hosts Zaproot, the flagship show of the green network Viropop. This extremely humorous episode teaches you about “hypermiling,” “clean” coal marketing ploys, mapping pollution on Google, and…you also get to see someone half naked dancing provocatively in their car to a Daft Punk track. Hey, it’s all in the name of healing our planet, right?
