If you received some new gadgets this holiday season and are wondering what to do with the old ones, a recent Washington Post article has the answer.There are two Web sites that will buy your old gadget — cell phones, laptops, PlayStations and more. You type in info about the gadget and the sites calculate how much they’ll pay you for it. Then they either refurbish it and resell it, or recycle

solChat is a new solar powered Bluetooth speakerphone that attaches to your car’s winshield or visor for safe and convenient handsfree conversations.  It is green because it continuously re-charges and it frees your hands from holding a phone.  Everyday we see people driving with phones in their hands, even though it is against the law.  [...]

Over the holidays, I learned that a extended family member is doing some great things in the name of charity, and I wanted to share it with all of you.
One day 7 year old Nikki and her Mom were watching “American Idol Gives Back.” In this case, the judges traveled to Africa to promote charity. [...]

It occurred to me the other day that we are starting a new decade.  One of those “duh” moments.  But when I stopped to think about the last decade with its turmoil from 9/11 to our almost collapse of the economy, I can only wish that we are ushering in a new year full of hope.  Hope in our humanity.

We are definitely on a greener path with a focus on retrofitting our older buildings in a more energy efficient way.  Demanding that our personal care products be safe.  Returning to the ways of our grandparents in growing our own food.  Being mindful of our own impact on the environment by reducing our plastic consumption and recycling more.  But,  I ask can we do a better job?

The answer is yes.  We can always do a better job starting with ourselves.  So, what are my own goals for next year?

To create more messes.

Okay.  That goal may seem a little odd with my personality since I picture myself as a sort of control freak, neatnik, and organizing fiend.   So, what does…

A few months ago, Sustainable Travel International (STI) launched its newest certification label, the Luxury Certification Standard (LECS), to highlight the best and “greenest” hotels of the more “discerning” variety while helping the properties create and implement a measurable sustainability framework.

Now eight months later, the first LECS certification has been awarded to the Hay-Adams in Washington D.C. Operated by luxury brand Leading Hotels of the World, the Hay-Adams is the first hotel in the world to pass STI’s onsite inspection.

“We are extremely proud to be the first hotel to receive this certification,” said Hans Bruland, general manager of The Hay-Adams. “Until now, there hasn’t been a globally-recognized program to suit the needs of a five-star luxury hotel operator.  LECS has afforded us the opportunity to make real changes and significantly reduce our carbon footprint all while preserving the guest experience.”

The holidays are over, time to clean up the mess. Gift wrapping paper, holiday cards and boxes that are 100 percent paper can be recycled. Foil, plastic coating and glitter cannot be put into recycle bins. Plastic bottles, jars, tubs and buckets are the only plastics that you can recycle at home. [...]
