This website is pretty cool, and despite it's name, is polar opposite of 'hippie chick'. It's got tech and media news,home, outdoors, goofy stuff---very dry, clever and funny, but also pretty smart and informative. Check it out.
**I started re-cycling again yesterday and was catching myself up with some news here. I couldn't help myself. Water bottle after water bottle, piles in land fill after land fill. Can't keep doing it. I tried to pretend it didn't make that much of a difference lately, little old me, but it does. A bunch of little old me's equals a big collective 'whole'.
Jon Stewart from The Daily Show lived in Sag Harbor (where I used to live) and loved the little coffee shop 'Java Nation' on main street. There was a good month stretch where we would run into each other there quite frequently. One morning we were both shoulder to shoulder at the milk station, he fixing his coffee and I throwing mine out. I also had an empty vitamin water bottle, and though I meant to throw it in the re-cycle container, I mistakenly reached for the regular garbage. Jon Grabbed my arm and re-directed it to the re-cycle bin. He then said, verbatim-"I know it's a bitch, but my wife makes me do and the environment is a shit storm. Who the hell knows, this might be helping".
