Reuse and Recyle
It's almost time to celebrate Earth Week here at GRPL! To celebrate, I thought I'd pass along an interesting link I came across in this month's issue of Readymade (website). It's called How Can I Recycle This? The items in question can range from the expected, like yogurt containers and kitty litter containers to the odd, like plaster casts of feet. The site is fun and inspiring to look through. It's definitely being added to my bloglines. Of course, this isn't a free ticket to buy all the junk you want. Conscious consumption is still key.
Also check out our wiki page on Environment and Sustainability. There are some really terrific links under Community Resources as well as Web Resources.
Don't forget to come down to the main library to check out tomorrow's events:
