So I know most people can agree that keeping a coupon book and sorting through those morning papers to find the best deals can get pretty frustrating. Also according to Bay Area Recycling Outreach Coalition, nearly 100 million trees are cut down annually to make junk mail in the U.S. So this is were Yowza comes into play, which is a location based coupon app. It is designed to reduce junk mail waste and help consumers find the best deals.
In the video above, Nike really shows the benefits of recycling plastic bottles. These jerseys are made up of 96% polyester, each jersey takes about 7 bottles to make it, and each pair of shorts takes about 6 bottles to make. This will make the 2012 Nike Football National Team Jerseys most environment friendly ever.
Not only is biking healthy for humans and the planet, it will also keep those pockets bulging. According to a reports from League of American Bicyclist, Sierra Club, and National Council of La Raza U.S. cyclist save a whopping $4.6 billion a year on any transportation cost.
Forty percent of all trips are made within two miles of home. Analysis by the Sierra Club shows that if American drivers were to make just one four-mile round trip each week with a bicycle instead of a car, they would save nearly 2 billion gallons of gas. At $4 per gallon, total savings would be $7.3 billion a year.

This one of a kind motorcycle runs completely on electrons
To recycle any electronic has to be a win win situation for both consumer and recycler. You get to keep these toxic devices out of landfills and get to reap the reward of going green. But Greenest Genius has come up with a benefit program that affects not only you but millions of kids around the world. For every wireless device that is recycled, they pay you a bit of cash, but also for every electronic that is recycled a child gets a full backpack of school supplies. So next time you think about throwing that electronic device in the dumpster, think that you could benefit yourself, children around the world, and helping Earth at the same time!!

Look like NASCAR took another step in the going green process. Newly released pictures show the new Ford Focus Electric, which will now be the new Pace Car for NASCAR and will hopefully push electric cars to the masses in the mainstream.
