Anyone who’s ever moved from a larger place into a smaller one knows how difficult it can be to jettison unwanted stuff in an environmentally friendly way—especially when it’s bulky, of unknown origin, or the type of thing that requires wearing a Hazmat suit to recycle. Seeking answers, ReadyMade enlisted the help of Ideal Bite, a daily email newsletter devoted to “light-green living,” to create a crib sheet for those with the urge to purge. Downsizers, don’t leave home without it.

A City Committed to Recycling Is Ready for More
By FELICITY BARRINGER
Published: May 7, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO — Mayor Gavin Newsom is competitive about many things, garbage included. When the city found out a few weeks ago that it was keeping 70 percent of its disposable waste out of local landfills, he embraced the statistic the way other mayors embrace winning sports teams, improved test scores or declining crime rates.
The San Francisco Recycling Center processes about 750 tons of recyclables a day, and Mayor Gavin Newsom wants to add to that total.

Hi everyone,
Retail_Therapy was curious about all my polishes so last night I took pictures of all the bottles (and the one's I've worn already I've put one picture of with the name). The ones I haven't worn online so far will come eventually. There are a couple I'll probably only wear once to show you because some of these colours I actually hate (gifts I hadn't the nerve to say I didn't like).

Hi everyone,
Well, I just ordered "some" nailpolishes in the US.... and I was wondering what you guys think of my choices before I can actually show you how they look on my nails. I'm curious to see if your opinion changes or not.

I just read an article about recycling shoes and was totally inspired.
You can donate any brand of athletic shoes to Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe program and the company will recycle them into materials that will be used in sports surfaces, such as playgrounds, basketball courts, and running tracks, for under-served communities around the world.
