		<title>Before the Olympic spirit leaves us&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week we blogged about the recycled Vancouver 2010 medals, and how, by using scrap circuit board, they diverted significant waste from the landfill. We can now look forward to the next Olympics in London in 2012, where the Olympic Stadium has been built with 52 tons of guns and knives that were confiscated by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Olympic Metals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Q: What do the Vancouver 2010 Olympic medals and the AusPen have in common?

		<title>Random Acts of Kindness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently this is Random Acts of Kindness week, from February 15 – 21, 2010. Doing kind acts is, of course, an inspiring message, and I take this message to heart: be spontaneous, take initiative, look beyond ourselves.

But I’m stuck on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going back to the days of Curious George?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s not that refilling pens and markers with ink is new. Last night my children and I gathered around the classic Curious George story in which the loveable monkey knocked over a bottle of ink on an important envelope. This made no sense to my young children. (“What is that?”) They are being raised in [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Being Green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kermit the Frog always said it wasn’t easy being green. But that was in the days before being green meant being at the forefront of new products, gadgets, practices and habits that were good for the earth. A new millennium Kermit the Frog would relish (note the color choice) his verdant state.

		<title>Canary in the Coal Mine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[David Suzuki posed the question whether bees could be the canary in the coal mine for the health of planet Earth. Since we at EcoSmart Products are interested in all things healthy for planet Earth, this expression caught our attention. Time for a history lesson.
Since early coal mines did not have great ventilation systems, miners [...]]]></description>

		<title>Precycling, precisely speaking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year the editors of Webster’s Dictionary added over 100 new words to the official English language, illustrating that English is a dynamic, evolving language. Not surprisingly, a number of the words have hailed from the tech and green industries. We can now say ‘webisode’, ‘vlog’, ‘green collar’, and ‘carbon footprint’ knowing that Webster’s has [...]]]></description>
