#DDD2011

In case you forgot, DDD is the biennial holiday during which we take a moment to think about where we are depositing our waste by posting photos on blogs of decorated trash receptacles. Here are some links to the inaugural event. Logo by Little Shiva of the Visible Trash Society who, along with Ruby Re-Usable of Olympia Dumpster Divers and everydaytrash.com co-founded this special day. Pass it on and start taking photos.

Up-posting

Apologies for the light posting of late. In the spirit of getting back on a regular schedule, I thought I’d first upcycle some posts from the past and recommend some of my favorite past snippets of trash info brought into my life by the blog. But first, I’d like to remind you that everydaytrash.com has a Facebook page. In addition to notification of new posts, we share interesting links and photos of trash from around the world such as this one from Agra, India (where I spent Christmas Day with my mother and sister).

TEDx Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The green blogs are abuzz. Did you virtually attend the TEDx Great Garbage Patch—an independently organized TED conference focused on plastic—this weekend? If not, here’s a link to everything that went down. And Beth Terry of FakePlasticFish has a great overview of Van Jones‘ presentation here. Knock yourself out, plasticheads. There’s a LOT of good stuff here. The video gallery alone could consume an afternoon. I’m still catching up, more to come.
