Go see The Age Of Stupid
A very cool looking movie that will hopefully make folks think a bit. A man in 2055 looks back at the year 2008 through video clips and asks the question : Why didn't they do anything when they had the chance?
Monday Sept 21, the makers of the film are holding a worldwide premiere in order to get it in the Guinness Book Of World Records and get some attention. To be a part of it check out the site.

MIT Tracking Seattle Trash
A very cool story about a group of MIT students who are electronically tracking trash right from the source. They have been tagging garbage that is leaving peoples homes and will then have an exhibit up at the Seattle library that show where everything ends up. A very cool idea that will hopefully impress on everyday folks what the impact of their purchasing decisions is!
Check Out Veggie Trader for local produce
OK, so your dream is to be a farmer, but just like Eva Gabor you can't give up the city life. Fear not though because Veggie Trader is here. Basically set up like craigslist, but for fresh produce, it's a way to barter/sell your extra backyard or windowsill crop and find something that you may need. How cool is this? But be careful, if this takes off, pretty soon we'll have enough fresh local vegetables for everyone and then who knows what that will bring.
Check it out.

There is an estimate of over 18 million of these containers floating, riding and flying around the earth today, but the most recent sustainable design trend has found these containers revamped to contain a more delicate cargo: People.
