I saw this article back around the first of the year sometime that talked about a machine that could turn plastic bags into back into oil and was pretty excited about it. I meant to write about it at the time, but I heard someone mention the process in passing at a ballgame of all places and thought I would go back to it.

Before I got into that though, it should be noted that I will not be using the theme for every post this month, but I will pick it up on occasion.
Here are a few ideas for increasing you green and limiting the impact you have on the resources available.
