Your Bottlecaps Found In Dead Birds’ Bellies
By Ben Popken, 11:28 AM on Tue Oct 20 2009
Every wonder what happens to the plastic trash in the streets after a big rain? Some of it gets washed out to sea and makes its way to the Pacific Trash Vortex, where it is fed to baby albatrosses by their confused parents.

We’re not always pessimists on Consumerist. Why, sometimes we actually like silver linings, if only because it gives us a chance to complain about argyria. (Don’t take colloidal silver, people!) Today’s silver lining is that sales of bottled water “have fallen for the first time in at least five years,” says the Los Angeles Times. We’re apparently showing common sense and opting for tap water over branded and labeled water, proving that in a tough economy it’s hard to compete with (nearly) free.

Make Your Own Green, Cheap Cleaning Products
By Phil Villarreal, 9:20 AM on Fri Aug 14 2009
When McGyver wants to clean his kitchen, he doesn’t need any fancy Clorox or 409. Give him some baking soda, vinegar and lemon juice and he’ll create a clean-up bonanza of the likes the world has never seen. And he’ll catch seven bad guys and utter a catch-phrase quip, all before the commercial break.

Why You Shouldn’t Buy From Ikea
“Face it, when your $20 bookshelf broke you just threw it out and went back for another one, right? And why not, they’re so cheap!! (And there’s a bus! And where else can you eat lingonberries?!……) But our demand for highly disposable wood furniture has made Ikea the third-largest wood consumer in the world. Not to mention that the average consumer drives 50 miles round trip to get that $20 bookshelf.”

So basically, what this is saying is… Your buying crappy stuff, that then fills landfills cause it does not last, you waste tons of gas to get there and you end up hurting the environment and could have bought a $50 bookshelves that would have lasted you longer…
