Are you a recycle geek like me? If you are, this is a pretty cool video. I always wondered how all the stuff I put into my blue bin is separated. Now I know.

Don't recycle? Are you freaking kidding me? Get with it and take some personal responsibility. You live on this planet too.

Last Month the founding president of Heal the Bay, Dorothy Green, passed away.

Founded in 1985 Santa Monica-based Heal the Bay, with Dorothy Green at its helm, grew into one of the region's most powerful environmental organizations.

"Dorothy Green was simply the most influential water quality activist in California for the last 30 years," said Mark Gold, her protégé and current president of Heal the Bay.

If you would like to pay tribute to Dorothy and her years of tireless work, there will be a public memorial celebration on Sunday November 23. The memorial will fittingly be just south of the Santa Monica Pier at 10AM. Click HERE for additional information and parking instructions.

My condolences go out to all that loved and knew her. And of course please support the efforts of Heal the Bay.

One vote makes a difference. Your voice matters. I will wait in line for as long as I need to tomorrow because I refuse to not be counted and you should too.

Prop 7:

Like I said with Prop 10, I would love to support a ballot initiative that would start California on the road to clean energy in the form of more solar and wind. But there is so much extra stuff written into this plan that it feels almost like they wrote it to fail. It's too expensive for California at a time when we hardly have a state budget in place and people struggle to pay for basic needs. I hope they try again and this plan morphs into something we can all support. Click HERE to read about Prop 7.

Prop 10:

As much as I would love to see a ballot initiative that helps consumers purchase high fuel economy vehicles and fund research for alternative fuel technology and renewable energy technology.  After reading all the proposition facts, along with the pros and cons. It seems to me that as much as I would love to see all these initiatives come to fruition, his prop just seems too costly at a time when California is having a severe budget crisis. Here is the LINK take a peek and let me know what you think.

Coming tomorrow Prop 7.

I know that I have bugged you about this before, more than once I'm sure. But here goes...don't throw your E-waste in the garbage. Why, you ask? Many of our safe, common household electronics contain hazardous materials that are toxic when put into landfills and released into our environment.

If you live in the Simi Valley area your in luck, they are holding a free E-Waste recycling day on October 18 between 9 and 3 at Simi Valley Unified School District Parking lot. The district is located at 875 Cochran Street in Simi Valley.

So get together your old TVs, cell phones, monitors and computers and drop them off. It's the right thing to do. It's the environmentally conscience thing to do. Click HERE for more info.

The non-profit genius X Prize Foundation announced this week that they have crafted an eco challenge for YouTubers called "What's your crazy green idea?"

The rules are pretty simple:

• Go join the "What's Your Crazy Green Idea?" YouTube Group
• Create genius and post your two minute video to YouTube.
• The deadline for videos is October 31.

Here's a strange little piece of information for you...apparently according to a poll conducted recently by a hoity-toity marketing company, folks over 55 years old are the most prolific consumers of green products and services. All this is completely bass-ackwards to the idea that environmentalism is a youth movement. Weird, right?

It goes a little something like this:

• Both male and female groups 55 years and older reported above average usage of environmentally-friendly home goods.

• Leading the way are 55-59 year old females, who are more than twice as likely as the average consumer to use green products, the survey shows.

• Males 65-69 years old are second, more than 1.7 times as likely to use green products than the average American.

• When asked why they elect to purchase eco-friendly goods, a leading 33 percent of the group said it "makes me feel good about myself."

• The next most common reason selected for avoiding green goods was, "I do not believe that they are that much better for the environment," said 17 percent of respondents.

I'm at a loss. We're the mover shaker generation and we're letting "other people" carry the responsibility. Go out and recycle something, would ya?

Why exactly do republicans freak me out? I think this video speaks for itself.
