A lot of folks try to get news publicity for their products or services by trying to tie them to the issue du jour.
This guy, however, gets points for gutsiness by really grasping to make a connection between his book and “reducing global warming”:
Silicon Valley, CA: If you’ve been turning ‘Green’ and wondering how you can help save the environment and even stop global warming, Silicon Valley inventor Dale Zamzow has the answer: “Build your own multi-purpose furniture.”
According to Zamzow, “why does a coffee table have to be just a coffee table? Why not construct a piece of furniture that can serve as a coffee table, a storage chest, liquor cabinet, hope chest…even your very own ultimate home.”
Zamzow has documented his idea in a new book entitled BUILD YOUR OWN COFFIN FOR UNDER TEN BUCKS. With this manual you can create your own dual-purpose coffin…a box that you can use now, as a piece of beautiful furniture. Then later, when the need arises, it can become your ultimate resting place.
“At last count, there were more than 6,556,773,622 people on this planet. If only a fraction of these folks followed the instructions in my book, we’d bring back the rain forests and halt this dreaded global warming syndrome. It’s the ultimate do-it-yourself project. Build a simple bookcase, a plush home entertainment center, an unique coffin table; handcraft a hope chest or linen cabinet. See how you can construct a piece of furniture that can be used now…and forevermore.”

Yes, of course. We’ll halt global warming by making our own coffins! It all makes perfect sense!
