    Green Gadgets

    What do you do with your old gadgets?
     I recycle them through an electronics recycling service
     I give them away to Goodwill or a friend
     I sell them on eBay/Craigslist
     They're gathering dust in the back of my closet
     I throw them away (yikes!)

  • Stricter Smog Standards 
    Reported by: Nicole Kilmer

    WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Environmental Protection Agency has announced a modest tightening of the smog standard.

    However, the "New York Times" reports it overruled the unanimous advice of its scientific advisory council for a more protective standard.

    The Clean Air Act requires periodic review and the announcement updates a standard from 1997.

    The standard, stated in terms of average concentrations of ozone at ground level over an eight-hour period, is now 84 parts per billion.

    If it survives court review, the standard would be lowered to 75.

    Last year, a scientific advisory panel recommended just 60 to 70 parts per billion.
