I was shopping at the new REI in Carle Place, New York the other day and stumbled across this. I love my iPhone, but one of the annoyances is how quickly the battery runs out. When I first got my phone, I thought that surely the battery must be defective. I’d leave the house with […]

Compostable Picnic Basket
June 18th, 2011 · No Comments · Arts
The first day of summer is next Tuesday, and Father’s Day is this coming Sunday. And you know what that means. Picnic season is here! There’s one thing unfortunate about picnics, and that’s that the styrofoam plates and cups we use once and never use again end up clogging up landfills. The very things that […]
