Here are some interesting things I've seen lately:

I am taking Environmental Science and we recently watched this video. You can see the whole video on their website, storyofstuff.com:

As funny as it sounds, the other day I went shopping for a toothbrush and went to grab the typical cheap brand and saw something different. They now sell recycled plastic toothbrushes from a brand called PRESERVE. Their packaging is recyclable and works for a sturdy travel case. And better yet, you can send it back to them when it's old and they will recycle it into another one and the best part; postage is free on their site.

PRESERVE

Here is a video about them:

Have a safe halloween and be sure to VOTE ON THE 4TH!!!

Update/Meeting/Info

2008-09-16T19:35:00.001-07:00

There will be a meeting this Thursday in room 314 at 12pm. Not a lot of people were able to come when the meeting was at 11, so we changed it to 12. We hope anyone can come.

There are recycling bins on almost every floor of the school now and there is finally one in the culinary building. Not too long from now the Park Lane development next door to the school will have a Recycling dumpster which we will be using, so we won't need people to transport the recycling materials to the center anymore. But that isn't yet, so if you are interested in helping take recycling to the center, please email me: brice.baum@gmail.com for more info.

I've been reading some books about how to reduce my carbon footprint. There are a ton of books being published left and right about ways to help out the planet. Some books you may be interested in checking out are:

It's easy being Green

This is an easy read for ANYONE. Tons of information that pertains to almost everything about what you use in your life.

Gorgeously Green

Lots of important information for women.

Living Like Ed

Ed Begley Jr. is a modern genius. He has been inventing in the name of the environment for a long time. He recently spoke in Richardson about the environment but I wasn't able to attend. Check out his show "Living with Ed".

We Need Your Help!

2008-08-07T22:25:00.000-07:00

We are in need of students to help take the collected recycling materials to the recycling center. Dry Gulch Recycling Center is located off Harry Hines Blvd. in Dallas, not far at all from the school. You can get directions here: Dry Gulch

Due to the local construction, we aren't able to have a recycling dumpster at the school. So for now, we must take it to the recycling center. This is very important because we run out of space to keep the bags of recycling materials while waiting for someone to take it.

If anyone is interested in donating some of their time to help collect or deliver the recycling materials, please email BRICE.BAUM@GMAIL.COM. We need all the help we can get.

Thanks-

Brice.

P.S. I saw something in the news about vinyl shower curtains being dangerous. Read this. You can find better shower curtains that aren't bad for you or the environment. I recently got a biodegradable "plastic" one for less than $10.
