Show me the Green!

Through my various explorations of how to be more green I was able to stumble on this great site: greenergadgets.org showing me how and where to recycle and possibly make money on it! If I hand found this sooner, printer and other various electronics might have brought some green home. It's been late than never and  I'm sharing it with you so you don't miss out! 



  1. Find out if your device has value, either cash or to someone who needs it.
