Environmental Humor

What would life be without laughter? Comedians often speak truth in a way that other mass communicators do not, such as elected officials or news media.

In Romania we say “haz de necaz”, which means “poke fun at bad fortune” or “turn bad fortunate into laughter”.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the piercing power of humor, on an otherwise extremely important topic. Then take those free endorphins and turn the energy into something good!
