Rubber Ducky Suicide - Don't Do It

Electric Bath Duck, reverse side reads When it comes to dying the eco-friendly way, we've definitely given quite a bit of coverage to the vast array of green afterlife alternatives at Green Daily. And at the risk of seeming like I have an unhealthy fascination with morbid topics, this crazy bathtime product seems to beg for a discussion of a new subject in eco-friendly deaths -- the environmentally conscious suicide.

The Electric Bath Duck seems to have one purpose and one purpose only. Aside from the slow and insidious threat of phthalates, this rubber ducky is designed to give you instaneous results: electrocution. As morose as some may find it, there are a variety of ways to get the job done, and the suicide rubber ducky has to be close to the bottom of the list when it comes to resource consumption and carbon emissions. First, there's the wasted bathtub full of water, then the wasted kilowatts of electricity -- especially if that power was generated from a coal fired plant.

On a scale from 1 to 10, ten being the greenest, where do you rank rubber ducky suicide?
