Canada had a "Boaty McBoatface" situation when they split the Northwest Territories to make Nunavut. they were thinking about renaming the NT, and several names were suggested. A campaign to name the land Bob began as a joke, but soon became the top result in opinion polls. the province is still called the Northwest Territories.

Sid (interneteh@sunbeam.city)'s status on Thursday, 21-Feb-2019 19:54:13 EST Sid a friend of mine who spends a LOT of his time picking up plastic waste from parks, rivers, streets, etc. had a good idea. He decided to photograph the non biodegradable waste and tag companies on social media with it. So if he finds a plastic Subway cup, he tells Subway about it with the message "is this yours?" I dig this because it's not something that blames the consumer. It puts the blame where it belongs: on the producer.
