Shameless Cross-Promotion

If you’re an eco-minded, concerned individual, you might want to check out this blog. This site has been tweaked and worked on for the last few weeks, and it’s finally ready for prime time. There is a list of helpful, updated resources included—the crown jewel of which is an environmental tech company providing software for reusable materials exchanges (think the friendlier, customizable and measurable alternative to Freecycle or Craigslist), which is now reaching down into the lower 48 from Canada (iWasteNot Systems). The great state of Washington already boasts several of these local exchanges, but then that’s understandable. Washington has long been at the forefront of eco-awareness, mandating environment-friendly legislation even as recently as June 19th, when senator Patty Murray included $90 million in funding for the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) for salmon restoration projects throughout the Pacific Coast region. Check out the free “browser for eco-minded people” on the left hand side of the home page. We’ve been using it for several weeks. The hope of my other half is to update the blog weekly, however it is all dependent on whether or not she can drag herself away from this new gig at iWasteNot Systems.
