		<description><![CDATA[Just what we need &#8211; another reason to upgrade our televisions and create more electronic waste! Though, at least this TV will save some space in the landfill once it&#8217;s thrown out. It&#8217;s the new LG super flat flatscreen. It is less than 7 millimeters thick.

After trying a Walkman for a week (in lieu of an iPod), the modern teenager conclusion is this: Throughout my week using the Walkman, I came to realise that I have very little [...]]]></description>

A law banning phosphate-based dishwashing soap has led residents of Spokane to dash across state lines to smuggle in &#8220;bootleg&#8221; detergents: Real estate agent Patti Marcotte of Spokane stocks up on detergent at a Costco in Coeur d&#8217;Alene, Idaho, and doesn&#8217;t care who [...]]]></description>

With all the little green labels popping up everywhere, you have to start wondering what&#8217;s really green and what&#8217;s just green-washing. You know the movement has gotten a bit shallow when the worst of our cultural celebrity obsession merges [...]]]></description>

If something works, I don&#8217;t just throw it out to get something new. I have a perfectly good 1994 HP LaserJet that still does the bulk of my printing. In 1999, [...]]]></description>
