“I agree with just about everything he says,” he tells the reporter. Sigh. Can’t believe Paul got the Fanilow vote. (via.)
Recycling is so brutal. It's hard to fit all of Mastodon into that little bin.
1970- Gary Anderson was a 23 year old USC Architecture graduate when he decided to try his creative side with the Container Corporation of America's design contest. The design became the universal symbol for recycling.
Akinori Ito has invented a machine that will convert plastic back into oil. Just don't let BP invest in this one and everything should be fine, right?
This pug is so good at being green! And at being an adult. It's too bad that I'm not grown-up enough to have a dog so that I could be greener.
I kind of like hermit crabs because, like turtles, they have shells. But I didn't know they were into recycling. Way to be resourceful, little guy!

Style Buzz A volunteer run organization in Australia loans out clothing to unemployed people for crucial job interviews. There’s not much buzz on these yet, but we’d love to see someone take the idea and run with it. It almost seems like something we can’t believe doesn’t exist in America yet.
