Ergonomical and ecological

I remembered! Two of those gems were the "ergonomische Kopfpolster" (ergonomical pillow) and the "ökologisch korrekte Ellbogenwärmer" (ecologically correct elbow warmers), both of which of course referred too...

Well, I am a man, and if you can't figure it out based on that hint, you likely should be going back to reading your Disney comics instead of this.

Anyways, it turns out that when you think about it, they're of course not ecologically correct, after all. I mean, that carbon footprint is a whammy! The production cycle started when life turned aerobic, so that's a trail across the millenia, and the constant environmental impact of breathing throughout the operational cycle of a human being is considerable, too. They're still biodegradable, so I guess there is an ecological upside to the ergonomische Kopfpolster after all...

Still, if you're still looking for a new year's resolution, how about dropping dead to reduce your impact on our fragile environment?

That means you, Georgy boy!
