I can’t believe I just discovered The Good Human and all the goodness it has to offer!  It is a dream website for a girl like me.  From homemade ways to fix household problems to fair trade products to thoughts on organic foods.  I can already tell that I will be spending a great deal of time randomly searching The Good Human to find inspiration for new ways to be green.  If you, like me, want to leave the world a better, greener place, check out The Good Human HERE.

When I opened my box I found a prepaid envelope asking me to recycle my old phone.  I was so happily surprised.  What an awesome way to catch people while they are in the mind set of changing phones!  Not only will Verizon recycle your old phone for you, they created a program called HopeLine that donates to non-profit organizations that focus on domestic violence awareness and prevention.

In Verizon’s words:

HopeLine® collects wireless phones and accessories from any wireless service provider and refurbishes or recycles them in an environmentally friendly way. Since October 2001 when Verizon Wireless launched its national recycling program, HopeLine has collected more than 7 million phones; properly disposed of nearly 1.6 million phones in an environmentally sound way; refurbished the remaining units, funding more than $7.9 million in cash grants for domestic violence organizations; and distributed more than 90,000 HopeLine phones with the equivalent of more than 300 million minutes of service.

(from www.verizonwireless.com/hopeline)

And, you can send wireless phones from any company, they don’t have to be from Verizon. They even have a pre-paid label you can download from their website HERE. You can also bring in your old phones to any Verizon Store.

Thanks for thinking of the environment and social justice all at the same time Verizon!

One of my favorite posts as of late was a post featuring 7 Eco Designers. I love how far the upcycled momentum is traveling.  There are some amazing craftspeople out there using random fabrics and other such things to make some really cute functional and fashionable clothes and accessories.  It is also an encouraging post as I am stepping into the clothes making realm and am pretty new to the game.  I don’t know how to sew anything but a purse, so this should be interesting.

So, the next time you are looking for a few fun eco facts or an inspiring Do-It-Yourself post, check out Earth911.com.  I am sure you will find something there to like and look at, I always do.

If you are looking for a one stop shop for being “green” Planet Green (http://planetgreen.discovery.com/) is the site for you.  It seems too focus on the many ways an individual can become more green.  There are “How to go Green” guides for being green with your computer, coffee and tea, at work, and a great deal more.  I find it inspiring.

They do a wonderful job compiling link sharing posts on their site.  One of the sections has bundles and bundles of links to Do it Yourself Green Projects!  Of course this is the section I find myself hanging out in most often.  Examples of the awesomeness they have found and shared include: A flower brooch from an old t-shirt, Plastic Bag Purses, Sunglasses case, and Lamps from Wine Bottles!

There are so many posts to read and so much to learn on Planet Green.

Have fun visiting and finding new ways to be green and new DIY green projects!

Recent photos posted on WebEcoist of Biological Photography

The site is filled with anything and everything recycled, reused, green, eco-driven, eco-friendly, and on and on and on.  One of my favorite parts of WebEcoist is the wide variety of topics they cover.  There’s a science section, architecture, design, vintage stuff, art, and best of all crazy weird stuff!  I find things on this site that I have never heard of and feel that I learn something at least partly useful each time I visit.

Check it out and let me know what you think.
