While the trend at more and more universities has been to donate usable goods instead of dumpstering, we still send tons of our castoffs to the landfill each year. Clothing and textiles alone account for more than 6% of waste in our country’s landfills. Goodwill Industries is looking to change that with a new campaign highlighting the positive impact of donating to their stores

Yesterday, I read about the deadlock in Congress over dealing with our deficit and I felt just sickened. I twittered : “I've begun to think that both parties care more about institutional survival than our national and planetary survival.” This, in turn, got fed to my “status” on my Facebook page , where lots of people started commenting.
