    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!)

  • Chicago to Cut Diesel Emissions 
    Reported by: Nicole Kilmer/Newsroom Solutions

    Monday, Mar 24, 2008 @03:48pm CDT

    WTVO/WQRF - Chicago will receive nearly 52 thousand dollars in federal money to cut diesel emissions from city garbage trucks.

    The funding from the EPA will be used to install diesel-fired engine coolant and hydraulic-system heaters on 13 heavy-duty garbage trucks.

    In addition to cutting air pollution, the effort will demonstrate the effectiveness of idling-reduction technologies on diesel engines while also conserving fuel and reducing vehicle wear and tear, the EPA said.

    The funding is being awarded through the EPA's Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative.
