Trouble viewing this email? View it in your Browser. Earth Day Happy Hour! Not just for tree-hugging hippies, come out for a drink to celebrate spring and everything that comes with it!   Thursday, 22 April 2010 6-9 pm Celebrate the new-fashioned way.    Don't have time/the inclination to plant a tree this year? Come out to Stoney's and join us for a drink to celebrate the Earth, Spring, your birthday, ...Thursday...the fact that it's basically the weekend...anything you want. When: 6-9 pm Thursday April 22nd, 2010 Where: Stoney's Lounge, 1433 P st NW, Washington DC 20005.  (A few blocks over from Dupont Circle)  What: Happy Hour! Featuring electronics recycling! How much:  Entrance is $3 at the door or a donation of an old electronic.  Do you have electronics hanging around? Old phones you don't know how to recycle, that camera you dropped on the floor on saturday night, that iPod whose battery life is on average half the length of the Taylor Swift ballad you wish you were rocking out to?  On average, households have up to 4 cell phones, 1 laptop, 2 digital cameras and 1 printer lying around which no longer have any use.  In the U.S.A., between 1998 and 2007, the rate of electronic waste production growth was approximately 8% per year. A large portion of this waste is not disposed of properly. The Environmental Protection Agency found that 82% of the TVs, cell phones and computer products disposed of in 2007 were landfilled rather than recycled. In the spirit of recycling we will be accepting old unwanted electronics- phones, PDAs, mp3 players, laptops, digital cameras etc (plus batteries and chargers if possible,) all those things you don't quite know what to do with once you're done with them, to be professionally and eco-thoughtfully recycled. Any proceeds will also go to Historic Green.  Donations will benefit Historic Green an organization near and dear to Serena's heart! Historic Green is a non-profit which operates in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. Devastated by Katrina five years ago, the Holy Cross neighbourhood is fighting all odds to rejuvenate its historic community and Historic Green is helping to renovate the neighbourhood with sensitivity towards both the environment and the long-standing tradition of the area.  Restore. Create. Sustain. Preserve. Read about Serena's experience with Historic Green  Learn more about Historic Green!    One New Orleans neighborhood rebuilding as the nation's first Zero Carbon Community. Historic Green is about possibilities. About knowing a place. Respecting its rich heritage for future generations. And seeing the promise of sustainability to create healthier, safer, more livable communities. Historic Green represents a blending of the past, the present and the future. What was, meets what could be. Historic Green is a registered non-profit working with the Holy Cross Neighborhood Association of the Lower Ninth Ward to provide the service and expertise to reclaim the damaged historic building stock left decimated by both nature and the slow degradation of society’s neglect. New Orleans’ Holy Cross Neighborhood and the Lower Ninth Ward offer one path to what we’re calling “sustainable preservation”. Nowhere else could it happen on such a scale as here: an entire community brought to its knees in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Struggling to recover and rebuild. To restore in a way that makes it even better than before. RSVP now! Not required but appreciated!     © 2010 Bored at work?
