10 Eco Links to Green Your Weekend

There's so much we want to tell you about. Really, it's overwhelming. So let us briefly tell you about just 10 things that have caught our attention this week.

1. Metaefficient want us to think about faucets - and who wouldn't want to, when the right kind can squeeze 20,000 gallons from the annual water bill?

2. Brit news site Times Online lists 10 ways to give things away for free - the friendliest of recycling methods - and mentions my current favorite, Freecycle.

3. We're a bit smitten with reused and recycled glass - so we love Ecofriend's ingenious method of cutting glass using alcohol and string!

4. Cutting through the hype, which textiles are the eco-friendliest? Linda Sones of SonesUK investigates at EcoStreet.

5. Choosing glass ovenware over silicone is the safe, green thing to do - and Design*Sponge reminds us how smashing good Pyrex can look.

6.
Apartment Therapy reminds us of the treasures waiting to be unearthed in Murco Recycling's demolition auctions.

7. Kim Flottum at Daily Green fills us in on the latest research into Colony Collapse Disorder that threatens bees, a third of U.S. crop species and, just maybe, us as well...

8. Decor8 is loving the work of nabefabric. So are we.

9. Jason Pelletier offers a pile of suggestions for choosing eco-friendly carpet at Rethink What's Possible.

10. How good does this lime, mint & sea kelp soap sound? (We're already fans of cocoa butter, so this is an easy sell).

Are there any we've missed?
