Ahm! Yeah, that title means what you think it means. Thanks to a facebook post by one of my anthropologist colleagues and an interesting review by the Guardian yesterday, we are now going to get a little...ahm...scandalous with this whole "green" thing. 

F**K FOR FOREST is definitely one of "the world's most bizarre charities," as it promotes a new genre for not only NGOs but pornography as well. Based in Berlin, F**k for Forest, creates homemade erotica featuring FFF staff and random volunteer, which is then uploaded to their members only site. However, they also encourage subscribers to upload their own erotic movies and pictures. To gain access, subscribers pay about £10 a month, which is then used put towards their rainforest conservation projects in South America (In the film they are in Peru).

As their tagline "Have Sex, Save the World" and their poster is reminiscent of the 60s free love movement, it is of no surprise that this charity believes that something as organic and natural as sex should be used for the greater good of nature itself. Sex and the Environment, together? Why didn't anyone think of this before? Well not in such a purely pornography way? Well it got the attention of Polish Filmmaker, Michal Marczak, who has created the documentary [read more to see trailer] on this charity, which gives us insight into what FFF is all about and how they really function.

I got so caught up between the emotions of elation and great sorrow for the devastation that afflicts mankind every second, of every minute, of every hour of every day. So caught up that I forgot I wanted to do a quick post on Comic Relief & Red Nose Day

For those outside the UK, COMIC RELIEF is a British Charity that helps the poor in both the UK and Africa. It was founded by comedic scriptwriter Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry in 1985 as a response to the famine in Ethiopia. The main fundraising activity occurs during Red Nose Day, which is a biennial telethon held in March.  What makes this amazing is the fact that all the celebrities get involved, and not from the UK, but many of them go to these impoverished countries with some of the most heart-breaking outcomes and get involved from the ground. It is truly something I admire, regardless of the schizophrenic-type state it gets you in--one minute you're laughing your head off, and the next minute you're crying your heart out. Despite this Red Nose Day inspires us to be more aware of what is going on in countries less fortunate than ours. 

After donating, Jonathan Ross announced how much they had raised from the British public before his session ended, and it really got me emotional. OVER £66 Million raised, and much more was coming in. Amazing! I felt proud, but that we could do much more. Although I have witnessed many of the struggles with curable diseases that take the lives of children, or famines that wipe out entire villages, it still hits close to home. So this is why we at the Conscience Collective are proud to say that we support Red Nose Day & Comic Relief and we hope that you do too.

Most of us are familiar with the opulence that comes in the form of Naomi Campbell. Never one to keep us bored, we've followed her highs and lows since being discovered and making her mark as one of the world's most famous supermodels. Yet, many of us may not be familiar with her philanthropic side, and the charity that has helped raise millions of dollars to help other international charities raise awareness and give back to society--from victims of Katrina, Haiti, to Women and Children in impoverished nations. 

This charity, FASHION FOR RELIEF, has teamed up with some of the world's greatest designers to send down clothes that are auctioned in aid of these causes. Now, the supermodel teams up with the YOOX.COM to celebrate Yoox's China Grand Opening. In a partnering effort, Fashion for Relief and the online retailer have teamed up with the likes of Philip Lim, Masha Ma, Qiu Hao, Dolce & Gabbana and Mochino (to name a few) to produce limited-edition T-shirts. 

All proceeds made on the t-shirts will go towards Fashion for Relief's work with international charities. To your hands on one of these t-shirts and to help a charity, go to Yoox.com. And tell us which one of these is your favourite. Mine is Moschino's word-play/tongue-in-cheek MOSCHINA.

T-shirts are $35
