4:20 on April 20th


Thousands of people on the quad at the University of Colorado in Boulder exhale marijuana at 4:20 p.m. on April 20, an annual ritual marking the drug’s unofficial national holiday.

I didn't realize Boulder, Colorado was so awesome.

STOP BUYING BOTTLED WATER!!

You don't want to drink Polar Bear tears do you??
No really, bottled water is horrible and Jesse and I no longer buy it- we haven't in some time. We have a Brita pitcher and use good 'ol tap water. Visit this Website if you want to learn the truth about Bottled water.
Americans buy over 30 billion single serve bottles of water a year yet we only recycle about 25% of them. Water Bottles not only pollute the earth but the leaching of chemicals like BPA (a hormone-mimicking chemical) from plastic might actually be poisoning our bodies! A full 40% of bottled water comes from municipal sources meaning it is bottled from ordinary tap water. The average price for a 12oz bottle of water is $1.25 which is more than the price of gas. The water industry effectively has us paying for what 90% of us get already, tap water!

Amazon tackles "Wrap Rage"

What a great idea! Amazon.com is working with companies to eliminate those horrible clam shell cases on products and the twist ties and excessive plastic packaging on toys. This isn't just a great idea to help frustrated package openers but it is a great idea for the environment! They are replacing the bad plastics & waste with recyclable cardboard packaging that is easy to open. I really hope this catches on and everyone starts changing to this style of packaging. Who hasn't had to open a toy for a child only to find that it is sealed in the package like Fort Knox?! Seriously... the way toys are wrapped up and tied 20 different ways is ridiculous.

Way to go Amazon.com!
Here is a video link that shows a side by side comparison of the regular packaging vs the new packaging- it's pretty cool.
