What color ribbon do I need to wear for "peak oil" awareness? Black? Green? E-85 Yellow? No wait, yellow was for AIDS. Or was it the troops?

When oil runs out we won't be able to make ribbons anymore.

Maybe I should hurry up and make a "peak oil" awareness ribbon sticker for the back of SUVs!

How about a black drip, with (white text) "PO" in the middle?

PO = piss off? as in Friday is Poet's day? (piss off early, tomorrow is Saturday). British humour. Sorry, humor :)

I believe that would be a yellow and green ribbon for E85(from the logo of "Live Green Go Yellow)..

That ribbon looks great. Do I have permission to develop a bumper sticker to advertise theoildrum.com ? I suppose a bumper sticker like "Why are gas prices so high? Visit theoildrum.com !" would get the interest of yuppies.

Maybe they can add an arrowhead to the back loop with the arrow pointing down to the ground to let people know where we are heading if we don't do something about PO?

How apropriate. All this talk of ribbons. About a week ago I saw a yellow Support-the-Troops ribbon/magnet. I had a good chuckle since it was the first one I could remember seeing in the last year. It was on the back of a ten-year-old sub-compact Toyota driven by an ethnic-minority as best I can guess, with all four seats filled, no doubt with a son, or daughter, or two somewhere just east of Falluja.

While we fret about Haditha, rich, white, drive-yourself- to-the-mall-in-an-Expedition- isn't George Bush awful, politically purple Americans could give a shit. I thought it was funny that as half of us want to get rid of all the aliens, it seems the immigrants may be the only ones that care any more.

What happened to all those yellow ribbons? Not cool anymore?

I like the black peak-oil one, Step Back. I think you may have a winner there. The only thing you want to achieve is to get one person to ask - what the hell does that mean? And you've succeeded.
