Coca-Cola leads recycling effort during NASCAR's 2009 Ford Championship Weekend at the Homestead Miami Speedway
Coca-Cola will join forces with NASCAR and the Homestead Miami Speedway to bring recycling to NASCAR fans during the 2009 Ford Championship Weekend November 20 – 22. The event in Homestead, Florida marks the culmination of a season-long effort to encourage NASCAR fans to recycle.
During the 2009 season, Coca-Cola and NASCAR collaborated to bring recycling programs to 14 tracks, and as a result of this initiative more than 2.5 million beverage containers were diverted from landfills into the recycling stream.
For this weekend’s season-ending events, more than 400 Coca-Cola identified recycling bins have been placed around Homestead-Miami Speedway, giving race-goers plenty of opportunities to recycle their used beverage bottles and cans. Fans camping at the RV campground site can recycle their aluminum and plastic beverage containers in special plastic recycling bags provided by
Coca-Cola. A few lucky recyclers at the campgrounds will be rewarded by NASCAR with an exciting track experience – a lap around the track in a pace car, a spot at the drivers’ pre-race meeting, or access to the infield to view the driver introductions.
The Coca-Cola Recycling Education Vehicle will be on hand throughout the race weekend, interacting with fans and rewarding them for recycling. The 40-foot educational trailer features videos and interactive games designed to inform and educate consumers about the importance of recycling. “Our used packaging materials are valuable resources that can be used to manufacture new products. We’re excited to have an opportunity to reach out to NASCAR fans and talk about the impact recycling can have on their communities,” said John Burgess, president of Coca-Cola Recycling.
“This season, key stakeholders and partners throughout the NASCAR industry have launched a number of impactful and measurable programs demonstrating real environmental stewardship,” said Dr. Mike Lynch, Managing Director for Green Innovation at NASCAR. “Among the most notable efforts this year, we’ve made significant progress in solid waste recycling, with Coca-Cola leading the way in fan education and at-track execution.”

Just .99 for those whose discretionary income was spent on the device itself.
Layoffs suck.
BTW, here is the best user review:
Recession Repo
I had an iPhone, and ordered the cover. Before I received the cover, I was laid off, and my iPhone was a company phone. The amazing thing is I really didn't notice much difference in performance with or without the iPhone. This cover works fine without an iPhone. It form fits to my 15 year old Nokia nicely -- you just have to bend it a little.
Paintings
Here's some paintings that I did over last year. I never took pictures of them while they were hung up all around my dorm's common room, so here they are in all their glory on my garage floor. I like some of them better than others, and I especially like the robot and squid doctor which was a collabrative effort by Jack Sukimoto and I. He drew the android and anthropomorphic squid and I painted over his initial penciling. They are all on cardboard (since I didn't want nor could afford to buy canvas). This last years painting style has deviated pretty heavily from my work in the past which has been mainly abstract acrylic or spraypaint. I see my work turning more into illustration and I like that. It will probably make it harder to be considered "art", but who cares what they say anyway?
DIY Cardboard Craft Idea: Cheap Modular Building Blocks
via dornob.com
Recycling cardboard is great but upcycling it is even better. It is amazing what these small once-flat cardboard cutouts can become with a little craftiness and a creative idea or two.
Found in our basement, unused and unassembled by the previous tenant.
Still flattened, dust-covered, in its box: a cardboard Cape May Cat House !!!!
