How Can I recycle This? (And other rad green sites)
and Potato chip bags (you can make shrinky dinks!)
World Watch: http://www.worldwatch.org/
A good Eco world news site focusing on "people, nature, economy, and energy"
Treehugger: http://www.treehugger.com/
A huge site with things like "waste of packaging awards", cool green product updates, new, movements etc.
And My favorite green blog, Sew Green: http://sewgreen.blogspot.com/
Multiple contributors with great ideas and directions on how to make your own cleaners, detergents, soap, clothes, reusable thick grocery bags out of flimsy bags you get from the store (that one was my favourite! - all you do is fuse them together which is just a fancy word for iron/melt them together between wax paper and then sew them up!)

quotes.
-------
the more it snows,
the more it goes,
the more it goes on snowing.
A U.S. law professor representing Guantanamo prisoners compiled a book of poems by some of the detainees, to be published this month by University of Iowa Press and featuring a cover blurb by former U.S. poet laureate Robert Pinsky. Among the verses, for example, by Sami al Haj, quoted in a June Wall Street Journal story: "When I heard the pigeons cooing in the trees / Hot tears covered my face" and "My soul is like a roiling sea, stirred by anguish / Violent with passion." The U.S. military had to approve the text, citing the ease with which imagery could be used as coded messages to colleagues outside.
