Happy Earth Day! Did the totally tubular "Turtle Tips" PSAs help you become more eco-friendly back in the day? I remember they definitely had a positive affect on me. :tgrin:

So, did you pay attention to the tips the Turtles gave, or did you tune-out once the episode was over? Share the influence they had on you, if any.

Vegan marshmallows actually taste really good! ^_^

Don't forget "Shredder's Mom" or the Archie Comics...

I find it ironic that the same network that cancelled the OT for not being "educational" also had these, which I thought were wonderful. They could have more during Red Sky to perhaps "save the show". I enjoyed them though as it was "bonus TMNT" footage, and consider it part of the OT canon, each turtle Tip taking place between a S4 episode.

Of course they're totally canon, I mean they even explain how they get their money and how some stuff on the lair works and you just get to see the turtles hang around when there is no trouble. Original animation in the same style as the show and the original actors, why wouldn't anyone want them on DVD, all the shorts combined form basically a 22 minute episode.

I never saw them as a kid but as far as PSAs go they are done fairly well and do feel a little more personalized than other PSAs.

"Hey Joey! I got some stuff ya just gotta try!

What is it?!

pot...you know...MARIJUANA!"

Lol I remember that one the best, and those other ones are funny too. I would say that the TMNT definitely did help me out in a lot of those environmental areas, for sure. At least subconsciously...it wasn't until I read Tolkien that I really became a tree hugger but I'd say that the Turtles definitely influenced that somehow too.

I didn't even know it was Earth Day. I never really paid attention to the environmental PSAs, but I did like that one drug one they did. I'm not one for environment stuff anyone because the whole global warming thing is just ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is the crazy weather we've been having lately..

Yeah, it is. But what I mean about global warming is that they want to try and blame it on us when it's a natural process that's been around for a long time with the greenhouses gases. It's not something you can really control, despite what that idiot known as Al Gore claims.

You've never lived in Chicagoland, have you? Crazy weather elsewhere is quite the norm here.

Arbor Day arrives this Friday BTW. That's where you are supposed to plant trees.

One of the PSAs showed them turning in aluminum cans for money.

Here in Ohio we're supposed to get some snow this week. In New York they might get up to a foot. This might not be out of the ordinary for other places of the world, but for the north-east corner of the U.S., it's kind of odd.

That's illegal, should be returned to owner. Sorry TMNT, but don't blame Shredder, Pinky McFingers or Big Louie for being.criminals :)

It's entirely possible that you could be making a joke that I just don't understand, but how is recycling cans for money "illegal"? ( :trolleye: ) They probably just collected the cans from the litter that washed down the storm drains into the sewer.
