Image: Week 52, Green Garbage Project Okay, “trash free” technically only applies if you consider that the small box of non-recyclables accumulated by Amy and Adam Korst now counts as collectible. The Korsts write in their blog, Green Garbage Project : “Oddly enough, this has become enough of a talking piece that we’re unlikely to ever throw this stuff away.” After 52 weeks trying to live absolutely trash-free, the Korsts have inventoried the year’s “failures”.

Image via Kid K Adam Dillon was a contractor for BP, and worked to help coordinate the spill cleanup of effort. His first appearance on television found him chasing reporters of a spill-impacted sight in the middle of a news segment for WDSU in New Orleans. Now, the tides have turned, and Dillon is willfully going to the press himself. After seeing firsthand how BP is orchestrating its cleanup effort, and bearing witness to some of its more secretive policies — and getting fired for photographing sensitive sites — he’s decided to go public with the story. Video is after the jump. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

photo via flickr Is it worthwhile to correct the record when it comes to Glenn Beck? The self-described “rodeo clown” has made a habit of saying outrageous comments to get media attention and properly enrage his audience, but words have consequences, of course, so despite his cynical plays it’s still necessary to correct his wild pronouncements.
