With all this talk on going green and climate change we get bogged down being serious doing are part for the environment (for a good reason), but I just wanted to say Happy New Year to everybody.
We are all unique on this planet so no matter what god you worship or what religion you are, even if you do not follow a faith or believe in a god, I hope you take this time to reflect, be light, laugh, share, give, help, and just have a wonderful time with each other.
Have a safe and happy New Year!

I'm Gary Mason and I share tips and ideas for those interested in going green. My blog is about taking steps towards living a green lifestyle in order to protect the environment. I am doing my part to spread the word, have some fun and promote the benefits of living sustainably. 
I’ve got a great + super simple tip. The next time you’re purchasing a gift card– go for the electronic (and paperless) option, an eGift card. Each year, 75 millions lbs of PVC is dumped into landfills from plastic gift card waste (Plenty Magazine). That’s an astronomical amount of waste for something that can easily and conveniently be sent virtually. PVC is notoriously difficult to recycle and cannot be tossed into the recycling bin along side your other household items. You must send those pesky plastic cards to a PVC recycling plant, the only one I know of is EarthWorks. For a directory of retailers that offer an eGift card, try http://www.giftzip.com …it is the most extensive one I have found to date. Hope that helped.
Thank you for your comment this is a great tip, please feel free to keep posting great ideas and tips. Egift cards are a great way to stop the 75 million pounds you mentioned of PVC in our landfills. We have to remember that this problem is not going to go away overnight, so lets keep fighting to improve the beautiful world we live in.
