Illegal Chia Pet Dump found in New Mexico!

Most people give little thought to what becomes of their Chia pets after the holiday season has become history

It's very sad that few Chia owners realize that the proper disposal of their Chia Pet is crucial in averting potential environmental disasters.

There are two localized outbreaks of what has now been dubbed "Wild Chia", which presently is spreading wildly along the I-40 corridor in New Mexico.

The actual Chia plant is not native on our globe, but was created artificially under laboratory conditions in an effort to promote the sale of clay pottery and sound activated electrical switches.

What happens when the Chia Pet plants are allowed to propagate in the wild is currently New Mexico's worst ecological nightmare this century.

According to a report recently published in the ECOLOGICAL TIMES by renowned botanist Alex Mendelsohn of the Maine Institute, the problem is immense.

"Unless something is done immediately, nearly all the red-rock formations in New Mexico will be covered with Chia Pet plants in five years" warns Mendelsohn.

"The natural landscape of New Mexico is ideal habitat for Chia Pet plants and closely resembles the clay pottery they were designed to thrive on" he adds.

Chia Pet plants have few known natural enemies, most of which are too busy fishing to assist in the New Mexico disaster.

Without anything to check the spread of these plants, they will cover the state in a short time and ultimately destroy all life on earth.


PROPER CHIA PET DISPOSAL

To properly dispose of your Chia Pet, you should contact the Chia Disposal Hotline at 1-800-555-3344. You should NEVER discard Chia Pet plants in the trash, flush down the toilet or incinerate them yourself.

Return of the blog...

OK, I've been slack.

So many things going on, so little time...but it's been fun!

Wow, the etsy experience was a disaster. A bunch of kids running a site for hobby crafters. The serious sellers are quickly getting frustrated and looking for greener pastures. We left, but not before we voiced our opinion, and being banned from their forums.

That's right. Banned.


Oh well. :-) Again, it was fun.

So I'm back, and posting regularly in the eCrater forums, and at PSU, and I was offered a board at Totally Shameless Self Indulgent Forum, so things haven't been all that bad.

I'll try to continue the story of the Jensen experience later this week. I really want to get that story out there, it needs to be told!

Oh, stop by the Company Blog to see some updated info on eBay's take on fake vintage cookie jars. Interesting stuff
