I bought a coffee mug for work yesterday so I wouldn’t have to use styrofoam cups each time I want a cup of joe. You’re welcome mother earth. You too, Starbucks.

World's First Sustainable Dance Club

In honor of getting hired by an eco-friendly company, I’ve decided to start sharing some green-related thoughts and items I come across on the web.

Most impressive- the dance floor itself. The LED floor transfers techno-happy dancer’s kinetic energy into power. How cool! Unfortunately, we Americans are out of luck- Watt is located in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
