Old disks, keys from keyboards, and hard drives can all be used to make useful and fashionable things you can use! EcoGeek has the lowdown on a man who has created a business converting old geek trash into crafts that he sells locally. Ingenious!
There is no longer any use for a 3.5 inch floppy disk let alone a 5.25′. many a coastered CD never finds another home. And keyboard keys, well, they may be beautiful, but there’s nothing you can do with them after you (I) spilled that beer.
A man living in New York City has decided to respect the environment, by making no impact. That’s right ZERO IMPACT on the environemnt while living in NYC, you probably have a lot of questions and he probably has the answers.
Here is his a snippet from the project philosophy:
Saving this planet depends on finding a middle path that is neither unconsciously consumerist nor self-consciously anti-materialist. The idea for No Impact Man is not to be anorexic but to be abundant, not to be eco-efficient but “eco-effective,†in the words of the environmental scientists William McDonough and Michael Braungart.

At least that is what G-Sky wants to do. They are a Vancouver-based company that creates living, breathing roofs and walls.
If you have ever wondered what the big deal about green roofs or biowalls, they have provided a great overview to get you wanting green.
Cool People Care is a site that tries to get people doing small good acts everyday because everyone has the time to do it. They have a feature called “5 minutes of caring” that is just that, take five minutes and show you care about the world.
If people are told how they can make a difference in less than 5 minutes a day, they just might do it. And, just like tiny water droplets make a tidal wave, if you get enough people to care for 5 minutes a day, you’ll change the world.
A good site indeed!
