Recycling at Best Buy

This link to Best Buy's recycling program was suggested by club member Jennifer, who also pointed out that "most stores have Recycling Kiosks that accept inkjet cartridges, rechargeable batteries, CD's, DVD's including the cases, and gift cards."
  

Their site says they'll "take just about anything electronic, including TVs, DVD players, computer monitors, audio and video cables, cell phones, and more" mostly for free with a few restrictions. The page has a drop down menu where you select your state and view program details.

ENERGYHOG.org

GO Green Club members Ed and Phyllis brought this web site to our attention at our last meeting, so I thought I would post a link on our blog for everyone to take a look at ENERGYHOG.org.

The site is divided into two parts - one side for adults to learn about how to make your home more energy efficient and the other side for kids with some cute games with the goal to defeat the Energy Hogs. There is also a nice handbook online with suggestions how to save energy in various rooms of your house. Take a look!
