WASHINGTON, DC<\/strong> \u2013 The U.N. Committee for Natural Resource Conservation reported this week the world\u2019s ribbon supplies are dwindling. Americans have taken notice and are finding ways to increase general ribbon awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts attribute the ribbon shortages to many factors. Harvard Professor of Craft and Accent Sciences, Dr. David Gumm, claims the environment is one key cause. \u201cIndustrialization of has resulted in a frightening shrinkage of the polar ribbon caps.\u201d said Dr. Gumm.

At a recent Save the Ribbon rally at Georgetown University, hundreds of student activists gathered to do their part. \u201cDid you know that every minute, another ribbon disappears?\u201d asked Bethany Rogers while addressing the crowd. \u201cIn the U.S alone, thousands disappear every day. I\u2019m appalled by the rapid deterioration of the world\u2019s ribbon infrastructure.\u201d She then began weeping and shouted into the microphone, \u201cI will not bring children into a ribbonless world!\u201d

Recent movies have helped shine light upon the ribbon crisis. At this year\u2019s Academy Awards, one of the nominees for Best Drama was a film entitled, \u201cBlood Ribbons\u201d which chronicled the African ribbon mines which have been controlled by various corrupt governments, war lords, and paramilitary groups for centuries using force and slave labor.

Many celebrities are getting involved in the ribbon cause, including cyclist Lance Armstrong. \u201cI understand this crisis better than most. We had this same problem with yellow rubber wristbands so we started substituting yellow ribbons but now that ribbons are running out we might use pieces of Post-It Notes.\u201d

Also lending his time to the effort is entertainer Tony Orlando, “I think I might have triggered this whole problem in the 70’s with my hit song ‘Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree<\/em>.’ \u201d

Many formerly ribbon dependent charitable organizations are now recognizing the world ribbon crisis. The Susan G. Komen foundation has announced plans to start another foundation dedicated to restoring the world\u2019s ribbon reserves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
