A recent Travelocity survey found 86 percent of hotel guests admitted to taking toiletries, like oatmeal soap and lavender body gel. About three percent said they swiped a bathrobe or slippers, and one percent said they stole dishes, silverware, and even electronics. (Seriously? Somebody jacked the TV from their hotel?

It’s already been established. I am no longer a fan of the greenwashing of America. However, there is one piece of ‘greenery’ I can stand behind. And that is the project and brainchild of Mike Lieberman (@CanarsieBK): 365 Ways To Go Green. For the past 344 days (as of this blog post) he has been [...]

It is now Week 3 for the Sun Chips compostable bag project. You should have first ready about the project here. So far, the bag has not lived up to either the written statement by Sun Chips nor the pictures on the back of the bag. Here, see for yourself!
We dream of a world with less waste. That’s why we’ve introduced a bag made from plants so it’s fully compostable. Every 10 ½ oz. SunChips® package is designed to fully break down in just 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost bin or pile. If it takes a little longer, don’t worry [...]
