Hey Dave, heard your interview with Kevin & Bean on the KROQ podcast and just wanted to say what's up and show my support!
I posted about you and your...err...courageous project :) on my Wannabe Hippy blog: http://www.wannabehippy.com/2008/01/11/365-days-of-trash-sustainable-dave/
Take care!
Thanks Frank, I'll check it out. Chime in with any ideas you have whenever you can.

I've always wondered whether those stickers aren't edible. I'm sure that they must get left on fruit all the time and consumed? I'm not suggesting a meal... but aren't they compostable?
Hmmm...well they are plastic and sticky so i don't think the worms would do much with them. Maybe I'll feed one to my daughter and see what happens....kidding.
Hi there,
I'm new to this blog and I'm starting from the beginning. Looks amazing so far. Great to see people who still give a care about the planet we live on. If we don't, then who will?
In response to this entry...
Those stickers on foods are edible and will...ahem... pass right through you. I did this by accident and found that they do not break down. Who knows what chemicals they left behind, though!
I also saw a story on Daily Planet a while back saying that they can use lasers to print right on the fruit. Hopefully it catches on because not only is there the sticker itself, but the adhesive, the ink, the factory that made it, etc...
Take care,
-Adam
