Mary Carey recently got an upgrade, so she’s decided to autograph and auction off her former pair to help raise money for “Susan G. Komen for the Cure”.
I guess that’s one way to recycle…

…Narwhal recycles neckties?
Narwhal Co. takes gently used, vintage neckties, and recycles them into handmade, one of a kind accessories, including wallets, iPod covers, iPhone covers, wrist wear, clothing, and even custom orders if you know exactly what you want.
Since each item is unique, you’re guaranteed not to see another just like it. Plus, since they’re made with recycled materials, you can feel good about your purchase’s effect on the planet.
Sounds good to me!

…Recycling is good for the planet?
If you recycle (and you should), then you probably separate out what’s recyclable from what’s not, put both on the curb, and never think about it again.
But what happens when you recycle?
How does it work? Is it worth the effort? Is recycling waste just going into a landfill?
The Economist decided to tackle all these questions and more, and put together a great piece called The Truth About Recycling.

If done right, there is no doubt that recycling saves energy and raw materials, and reduces pollution. But as well as trying to recycle more, it is also important to try to recycle better. As technologies and materials evolve, there is room for improvement and cause for optimism. In the end, says Ms Krebs, “waste is really a design flaw.”
…You should do something for Blog Action Day?
Today is Blog Action Day, which means that fifteen thousand blogs with a combined total of twelve million readers are going to be publishing posts about the environment.
Since I’m always down to support a good cause, I’m going to participate by giving you DYH’s Simple Rule To Live By: Do Something.
Being green doesn’t have to be a life changing decision. You don’t need to sell your car and buy a Prius; you don’t need to sell your Prius and buy a bike; and you certainly don’t need to recycle your bike and start walking everywhere; you just need to do something.
That’s because I believe that if everyone did something, then everything would change.
Why?
Because even small changes can make a difference.
Change a few light bulbs. Take a shorter shower. Recycle more. Drive less.
There are a million different things that you can do, so you just need to start doing them.
The key is to start small.
Soon, that single bulb will turn into a home full of CFLs, that shorter shower will turn into thousands of gallons of saved water, and that parked car will turn into a healthier you.
So just remember: Don’t try to change the world by yourself; just do something, and the world will follow.
…Apple is getting greener?
Apple is going green. In response to criticisms about their environmental practices and progress, they’ve laid out their plans for the world to see (an unusual move for Apple because “it is generally not Apple’s policy to trumpet our plans for the future”). By removing toxic chemicals from their products, and recycling the rest, they hope that a greener Apple will be a pioneer for a greener future, and I say that there’s nothing wrong with that.
