Long time, no see...

It's been crazy here, I have been unable to blog for a while... I am going to try to blog every day this week, and try to get back into the swing of things. I am sure you know about Tom's Shoes, but you might want to visit their site again, they have come out with new fall styles, the new ones, have a very nice design that has laces! Something I haven't seen on Tom's shoes yet.

One of the things I most like about them is that they look more like something I could wear to my work as dress shoes. So check them out! If you get a pair, remember a pair of shoes will be given to a child in need.

Ziploc Evolve

I discovered a new product that I like. Its called Ziploc Evolve. They produce the bags with 25% less plastice than their regular bags, and the factory they make them in is run by wind power. The only thing that would be better than this would be to see bio plastic bags made with wind power... You can read more about them here. (its on the far right)

Oh and here are a couple of other sites that sell green products:
Simple Shoes
MotherJones
Wheatware
Simply Green

What I think about Recycling

Its interesting to me sometimes, how often I see recycling bins right next to trash cans and yet if you look in the trash can you will see all sorts of recyclable materials. What is it with our society and recycling. According to RecyclingRevolution.com "We use over 80,000,000,000 aluminum soda cans every year." and "There is no limit to the amount of times an aluminum can be recycled." That's just aluminum cans! If every time we had a can of soda we recycled it instead o just throwing it away that's all the less aluminum that needs to be mined and thus one less can filling our land fills.

There are so many items in our every day life that can be recycled. Its astonishing, computers, textiles (in the form of good will, or even to make new clothes) glass of all sorts. I am as guilty as the next person when it comes to what should be recycled, however I would be the first person to tell you that if I am told about it I am more likely to try to remember it. If that makes sense.

Hmm there is more that I think, but I can't place it in words right now.
