It’s Not Easy Being Green
I recycle. I teach my students to recycle. But I never wondered where my recyclables went after leaving the curb - until I saw this! The video is about recycling from Great Britain, but it made me wonder what happens to our stuff. Like Kermit said all those years ago, "It's not easy being green!"
Just Plain Fun!
A friend sent me this You Tube clip, and I couldn’t resist sharing it. It made me think about the ways we find to use technology that the original creators never envisioned. I’m sure the inventor(s) of the treadmill never anticipated this outcome! Hey, any rationalization for an entertaining bit of video!
OK, I Admit it – I’m a Geek!
I’ve become addicted to my Google Reader account and the way it keeps me updated on all of my favorite topics. Those who know me well know that I’m a bit of a tree hugger, a condition that seems to be “taking root” more and more as time goes on. Sooo, I’ve subscribed to an interesting blog about Dave Chameides who has resoved not to throw anything away in 2008. You can track his progress on his blog. So, onto the “geeky” part. I posted a comment to his blog in response to his mention of loose tea (I’ve been called a “tea snob)! I got a tremendous geeky tech thrill posting to Dave’s blog and seeing my comment pop up. What’s more, if you click on my screen name, you’re directed to my blog! To use Will Richardson’s terminology, I feel like I’m losing a bit of my “accent” in the digital world. I look forward to becoming more fluent in digital tools. And, for any of you who also happen to be tree huggers, check out this site about the Story of Stuff.
