Upcoming Events 
Tree-cycle for NYC: Jan 8-9
If you enjoyed a fresh cut evergreen tree this holiday season, give back and Chip In. New York City Department of Parks & Recreation is hosting their annual MulchFest this weekend on January 8-9. Click the link to find a location near you. Bring your tree and it will be recycled into wood chips.
In some locations you can bring your own bag and reclaim the wood chips, otherwise the chips are used to protect city trees by providing a winter bed.
You can even volunteer. Check it out.
Send Your Spend
Join us in calculating how much we spend on food and drinks during a normal workday.
This is your chance to Send Your Spend. Click the link to send us a quick email, with the total amount that you spend each day on drinks and food. We are collecting the data via email to calculate an average estimated savings per year. So now through December 31, 2010, send us your daily spend.
We all know that we can reduce the garbage we create by bringing our own lunches and snacks to work every day. But how much money do we actually spend when we buy food and drinks during the workday? Help us find out.
