I love TerraCycle’s eco-cool products made from recycled bags, wrappers and drink pouches. They collect trash (you can earn money for schools or charity by sending in used wrappers) and turn them into fun and useful products.
We can’t get enough of the fantastic goodness from Yes To Carrots — a new-to-the-U.S. line of paraben-free face, body and hair care products that bring nature’s beauty powerhouses — including beta-carotene, Dead Sea mud and more — to your home at amazingly affordable prices.
Los Angeles’ 17-year old resident “green teen” Ally Maize, founder of LA’s Green Youth Movement, is aiming to make a statement about water conservation today by hosting a waterless carwash in her Brentwood, CA hometown. The carwash utilizes an eco-friendly formula that cleans cars without using water, saving up to 100 gallons of water per vehicle washed.
In a partnership with waterless auto detail company, Eco Detail, Ally will be joined by her classmates and friends to show locals just one more way in which they can conserve water and reduce their environmental impact.
“Living sustainably becomes much more do-able when the solutions make sense and are readily accessible. Most people don’t realize that everyday activities, such as washing your car, can add up to a lot of water waste,” says Maize. “Hosting this waterless car wash is our way of showing the community one example of how a simple lifestyle change can benefit the environment.”
The Arctic ice cap will disappear completely in summer months within 20 to 30 years, according to a report by a polar research team.
An expedition led by adventurer Pen Hadow presented their findings and dropped the shocking news about the Arctic ice cap. Hadow’s team says the Arctic ice cap will be “largely ice-free during the warmer months within a decade”, according to Yahoo News.
Recycling your old cell phone just got a lot easier: EcoATM will be setting up kiosks across the country where you just drop in your old phone and instantly get an trade-up coupon or gift card.

Planet Earth premieres tonight on Discovery’s Planet Green (9pm ET/PT).
Planet Earth was filmed in more than 200 locations, and each of the 11 episodes focuses on a specific habitat, illustrating life from highest mountains to the deepest oceans. Planet Earth offers a fresh understanding of how all these habitats are interconnected, and of course the series features incredible visuals because Planet Green is part of the Discovery Channel of networks–so you know it’s going to be awesome, right?
The network will air two episodes of Planet Earth for tonight’s premiere, “Pole to Pole” and “Mountains”. “Pole to Pole” introduces the ultimate portrait of our planet by looking from north to south, with a peek at some of the amazing life which lives here. “Mountains” explains the geological and volcanic forces that shaped the mountains, as well as high altitude survival tips.
