We're in the dog days of summer so while you're listless, lying prostrate in the haze that is the end of summer, lift your head and squint at your computer screen for a minute and check out a great new website called GreenPaws.
As has long been promised, the new NRDC "Testing the Waters 2007" report has been released. And while a ItsYourNature summary is yet forthcoming (the thing ain't short!), it's well worth noting that this year we've gone above and beyond and built a real fancy map to complement the report. The "Your Oceans" Beachgoers Water Quality map features water health and safety data for 100 of the country's most popular beaches.
Forget the car, charge your iPod as you book it down the beach on the barefoot express. Plug your car charger into your tote, put your bag towards the sun, and you’re ready to go. You don’t have to worry about sitting too far from the outlet when you’re running on solar. The bags are made locally in the US by a company that swears by sustainability, so we think they’re really cool. We also think the bags are a great excuse to ditch your car while simultaneously repurposing your car chargers.
