Emerald City: Recycling CDs and wine corks
Latest from Emerald City, my enviro-blog at LAtimes.com
>> Recycle your CDs and DVDs at Best Buy Although Best Buy’s recycling page doesn’t mention it, you can indeed recycle CDs and DVDs at Best Buy stores!
>> Organic wine drinkers: Give your corks a new life. You can now upcycle your corks! In addition to the juice pouches and cookie wrappers and other detritus from our grab-n-go culture, the eco-company TerraCycle’s now accepting wine corks — both natural and synthetic — which the company will turn “into cool products that will be available nationally at major retailers.”
>> Green building networking event 6/18. Whether or not you’ve passed your LEED AP exam, you can stop by the free “Kick Off Summer & Get Involved” event, organized by the LA Chapter of USGBC.
>> Mrs Winston’s Green Grocery: Have your eco-salad bar and compost your container too. The huge salad bar at this unassuming Santa Monica spot boasts everything from vegan chili to organic produce to curried tofu to tuna salad to noodles to vegan Caesar salad dressing to all manner of sprouts.

Ooh, thanks for the Best Buy tip—I’ve been taking them to 3R Living in Brooklyn, which is a bit of a schlep.

Siel..
Heard anything on the future availability of cork? I thought I heard somewhere that it was beginning to get thin at source.
