I Am Compost

Yes, unbelievably humans are actually part of the natural world. We are not a special species and we do not have a special destiny at the end of history. Just in case you needed a reminder you might want to make one of these shirts.

In the end, my friend, you are worm food just like every other plant and animal that came before (well, before there were worms). And that's fine, it's the way the world works.

I just hope the worms can handle all the toxic chemicals in our systems.

One Child Policy

There's no other country like Canada. We consume more resources per capita than any other nation on earth (yes even the US). Yet we think it's enough to go to international conferences and pledge to do things that we have no intention of doing; greenhouse gas reductions, that would harm the sacred economy stupid and we're not doing that.

Let's get Canadians to take a lead and show the rest of the world where we need to go. Let's force our dear leaders to enact a one child policy for all Canadians. Sure there's a lot of room in Canada but given that we are such gluttons we really should set an example for the rest of the world. If we enacted a global one child policy we would get the earth's human population back down to around one billion by 2100.


Don't hold your breath. A one child policy would be the easy way to sustainability but humans clearly like to do things the hard and painful way.

Ethanol = Poverty

Leave it to the politicians to embrace the dream that we can grow our fuel.

This one is pretty simple really. If you grow fuel instead of food that means that somewhere, someone is going without food. Pretty soon they are starving.

Our ballooning population depends on massive, industrial agriculture. In a finite system, you can't feed all those people forever but humans never think about the future. And you especially can't feed them if you decide one day that you should fill up your gas tank with corn. Ethanol will prove to be one of the most tremendous crimes against the poor in history.

The age of the automobile is over. Period. Get over it or get blood all over your hands. Fuck ethanol!

Stop at Two

Concerned about overpopulation? Not ready for human extinction just yet? Well how about the message that couples should stop breeding after two little ones. According to the Optimum Population Trust, "stopping at two children is probably the most effective action people can take to halt climate change".

If you think about it, it makes sense. We are resource pigs. Our kids must, repeat must (under this economic system) consume more than their parents. Therefore we have to halt the number of grasping little hands out there; unless you're willing to raise them differently. Though that's kind of hard when mom and dad have been brainwashed by capitalism.

Vote for Human Extinction

There are far too many humans. Period. We are well beyond the earth's carrying capacity for such a capricious species. Though this is a drastic and absurdist solution to our problems, you have to ask for the world to get an inch. So have fun with it!

Self-Hating Human

Have you heard what they call a Jew who is critical of Israel? A self-hating Jew, of course. Apparently if you're Jewish and a critic of Israel you must hate yourself. In case you're keeping track, other non-Jewish critics are anti-Semitic. Legitimate criticism is a crime.

What if you are critical of human beings and their rampant destruction of the planet? It's only a matter of time before people like us are called self-hating humans. Evidence doesn't matter and you'd have to be blind not to see the level of destruction caused by industrial civilization. Let's claim the word before the banks and corporations destroying the planet use it against us.

Peak Oilers

Worried about the future of the refrigerated Stanley Cup Finals in June? Perhaps you're concerned that pond hockey will be a thing of the past thanks to our addiction to oil? Then this is the shirt for you.
