Please keep your oceans and beaches and rivers and streams clean, and keep your CHOICES even CLEANER!
Support reusable products! Choose products made from biodegradable or "UPCYCLEABLE" resources! Re-use and re-use and re-use a metal water bottle! Go on beach clean-ups, even if you're by yourself!
The opportunities for making positive change are all around you. You can be a part of putting a stranglehold on our worldly waste-stream just by being the CONSCIOUS EDUCATED COMPASSIONATE person you are!!! If you are AGAINST plastic grocery bag usage, then you STAND FOR a cleaner world!
It's not necessarily necessary you see all this Plastic incessantly surrounding us should we stop? …and take a better look should we stop? …until we finally agree that the stuff we make today some of it gets thrown away and the stuff that’s thrown away doesn’t ever all decay we recycle what we can whenever we get the chance but when are we gonna ask why even make it in the first place? Stop. Could we be making something bettah? Stop. Should we be taking more care? Would we be needing to be cleaning up a mess at all If all the plastic in the world could decompose and disappear?

Why wouldja do somethin like that for real!?

From using another, then using another, then using another, And then just throwing all those plastic bags away…

Download the mp3 for FREE (or name ur price!) at http://mistacookiejar.bandcamp.com/tr...
Joey the Dogg is the alter ego of LUCAS!, the 6 year old Chocolate Chip of the LA family band, Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips. The character, Joey, was conceived in the Chocolate Chips' ongoing game of pretend. Joey is "a little puppy" with a "really big heart...who can bark AND talk." Joey was filmed December of 2010 at Loveship Bubbletron (the Chocolate Chips' backyard studio) in front of a homemade green screen. The video will be Mista Cookie Jar's 3rd music video release. Joey is the 2nd track off of their debut album, The Love Bubble which can be purchased at Itunes, Amazon, Blacklava, & CDBaby...just go to MistaCookieJar.com!

Gregory Brown's debut solo album is available for download purchase at our Reverbnation Store. In his travels of 2010, he loaded up 10,000 miles on his Honda, driving from Vermont to California, then up to Oregon and back the same way to Vermont! After a great tour of Portland with Mista Cookie Jar and the Chocolate Chips, gBrown laid down 13 original tracks while dogsitting his bassett hound friend Hercules. Guitarist friend Dario Jungic (of Marino Cafe, SE Portland) shreds a tearjerking solo on the love ballad, "Monarchs". Hope you enjoy, and dig into gBrown's songwriting...
