It's official, the Majestic 12--which is the 1st LEED registered movie theater in the country--is open for business...and in the small town of Chattanooga, TN.
I was down in Chattanooga for the non-profit gala the night before the grand opening and was able to catch up with the brains behind the project.
Check out this interview with Dale Hurst, Director of Marketing for Carmike Cinemas, and Jeff Pfitzer, Director of Special Projects for River City Company (who are the developers of the theater).
They answer all kinds of questions from, "what the crap is LEED and why does it matter?" to "Why Chattanooga for the 1st LEED registered movie theater in the country?". Good stuff.

"Recycle or die, bitch!"
That's the sticker that a guy I used to be acquainted with had stuck on his trash can.
It was there not only as an ever-so-subtle instruction to his guests, but also as a reminder to himself.

Simple, it's the same reason we don't make lots of simple changes that will help us live greener...it's not convenient.
Let's be honest, you'd have to be incredibly passionate about something to let it inspire you to go out of your way in an age where everyone is already over-scheduled.
Even though recycling is incredibly important (but it shouldn't be confused with foreplay), few of us would consider ourselves so passionate about it.
Well check out these 5 awesome recycling bin systems that may just help recycling fit right into your daily routine.
