Grocery stores, pharmacies, small and large retailers will no longer be allowed to provide plastic carryout bags at checkout;
Stores may still provide paper bags made of 40% post-consumer recycled material and charge a minimum of 10 cents for each bag. After the...

Yay, new and improved blog! =] I reorganized a bunch of my posts and created links on the side for easy access. It’s less cluttered and easier to read, at least in my opinion. Hopefully I’ll upload a picture of Best Buy’s recycling kiosk by the end of this week!

Best Buy's Recycling Program →
Here’s a quick post! Click the link above to see what kinds of electronics and accessories Best Buy accepts for in-store recycling! They take in a lot more items than I thought they (or any other store) would. Yay for Best Buy for taking this step towards a greener life for everyone! Now, the real question is how many people take advantage of their program? :)

Adventures at the Academy of Sciences!
I went to the Nightlife at Academy of Sciences recently, and was simply blown away by all the displays created to spread awareness of the Green epidemic!
Biodegradable cups for beer!
“REUSABLE COFFEE CUPS - If we all used our own mug, we’d save more than 100 million tons of paper a year. That’s a lot of trees, and a lot CO2.”

100% recycled what?! →
Go Reynolds Wrap! They recently released aluminum foil made from 100% recycled aluminum! Check out their website, they even have a discount coupon for their new product! Once I’m all out of foil… I am definitely gonna get this. Their commercial claims to be just as strong and durable as their regular foil, so if anyone tries this out, lemme know! =)

My eco-deed of the day!
Instead of a quick 5 minute round trip drive to my friend’s place to drop off the notes she let me borrow, I opted for the 20 minute walk! Maybe this doesn’t sound like much, but I don’t walk to places very often, mostly because I grew up in SL hahah… so it was nice to stop and smell the roses.. figuratively since I didn’t see many flowers bloom. The only negative...

San Leandro recycling program
Unsure as to how your curb-side city recycling program works? What they do and do not accept vary from city to city… I was surprised to see that San Leandro accepts plastics with the number 1 to 7! I’m surprised because Davis only accepts plastics with #1 and #2… I guess because Davis has an open recycling facility where you can drop off the other types of plastic. SL also...

Gotta Love F21. →
I’ve always liked shopping at Forever 21 because they have the ultimate package: fashionable clothes for an affordable price! I liked them even more when they started selling reusable cloth bags for $1.50 which, by the way, they were one of the first clothing companies that did so. Recently, they started offering plastic fold-up bags that are so easy to carry around, so they’re always...

WHAT?! Ecofriendly font???
My sister, Tracy, introduced me to this website that offers a free download of an eco-friendly font. Printing with this font will save you up to 25% of ink or toner! Whoever thought of this is a genius! The reason why this particular font saves you ink or toner is because there are tiny holes placed in the letters, thus having less to print. Plus, when the font is smaller (used for essays),...

It’s a really cute reusable bag and it looks like it can hold a lot of things in it! It’s until supplies last and the ad sales end 1/31/10, so I wouldn’t wait until the last minute to get it…!

Many of you know that I love reusable bags, and I am never without one when at the grocery store or at the mall. I use different kinds of bags depending on where I am. I use the simple, cheap tote bags that...

Teens for Jeans
I can’t remember where I stumbled upon this, but I found out about this a couple of days ago and thought I would pass it on. Teens for Jeans is an organization created by Aeropostale and DoSomething.org where you can donate any gently worn pair of jeans to Aeropostale, who will then turn around and donate the jeans to a local homeless shelter! It’s a really great idea because it...
