Virtual Bubble Wrap Destruction  E-mail
Written by Hank Green   
Tuesday, 23 October 2007

Sometimes we miss stupid things when we move into a more green lifestyle. Yes, one of the things I most miss is the easily-reusable, but non-biodegradable, petro-chemical-based packing material, bubble wrap.

I don't miss using it...no...I miss destroying it. Turning it from a useful product into a sheet of pure trash. And while I know that popping bubble wrap is no good for anyone, that doesn't stop me from wanting to do it.

Which is why I'm so happy that I've found a way to artificially pop bubble wrap in the virtual world. Check it out, and don't forget to go into manic mode.

Save some of that bubble wrap for window insulation:

Not quite realistic, because with real bubble wrap, no matter how long you spend popping you never get all of the bubbles.

Virtual bubble can't compare with realistic one, when you feel bubbles with fingers))
