    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!)

    (Louisville, KY) - On a day celebrated by "the wearing of the green", Mayor Jerry Abramson announced the city's new plan to "go green and save green".  The plan has several major goals inlcuding, reducing energy usage in government buildings, decreasing city government fuel consumption, increasing recycling rates throughout the city, and expanding green spaces.  Mayor Abramson said the Louisville Metro Government has made progress in the past several years in environmental stewardship, including reducing the city's vehicle fleet, consolidating government facilities, and purchasing more "green-friendly" products and vehicles.  The mayor's City of Parks initiative, the largest municipal parks expansion in the country, is also part of the Go Green Louisville effort.  Mayor Abramson is urging residents to "Take 5", which means choosing five actions from a list of changes to improve energy efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and increase recycling.
