1. Linked Up: Plastic Bags, Rivers Cuomo, 20-Somethings

If you haven’t already noticed, we now have a TWEET button. Look down. To the left. See it? Yeah. It’s awesome. Use it well.

Here are some other items I obsessed over this week.



In Mexico City, that plastic bag could get you a $90,000 fine, jail time. [BBC]

They call it the Snazzy Napper, but it’s more like the Snazzy You’re-about-to-have-your-purse-stolen-while-looking-ridiculous-er. [Urlesque]

Feel estranged from your friends who use Twitter? [GeekandPoke]

See kids? Sophomore Chemistry wasn’t a total waste of time. [FailBlog]

This song would be OK, but it features Rivers Cuomo, so that makes it awesome. [YouTube]

It’s almost time for school, so let’s make sure we all know how to write absurd, incoherent academic sentences. [UChicago]

This is a photo of our President being silly. [DailyWhat]

Could you live in these teeny tiny homes? [MNN]

They made an ice cream-serving robot. So, that’s that. [Eater]

20-Somethings. Sigh. [NYTimes]

2. Green Facts for the Last Day of April


I hope you've had a great April. On this last day, here are a few facts on the environment from a local library fact sheet which might surprise you.


  • recycling just ONE aluminum can save enough energy to equal a half gallon of gas
  • 2,500,000 plastic bottles--that's how many bottles Americans use in an HOUR.
  • 40% of the waste produced in the world is made by us Americans
Some things you can do right now to help:

  • reuse plastic bags or switch to paper bags (over 1,000,000 sea creatures are killed each year by plastic garbage in the ocean)
  • change the most frequently used light bulbs in your home to incandescent ones (electricity for lighting could be cut by 50%)
  • recycle paper (in 2007 in the U.S. more than 56% of the paper used was recycled)
Working together we can make a difference.
