Love these camera straps by Photojojo, made from salvaged seat belts of junked cars. They also made guitar straps out of reclaimed belts for Wilco and TV on the Radio.

Cell phone companies need to make it easier to recycle the cell phones they manufacture. Many consumers would like to do the right thing, if they only knew how.

Watch this video to learn about the life and death of cell phones.

Remember you can drop off electronics at your local Goodwill for free. They will e-cycle it responsibly or you can try to get some bucks for them from Gazelle.

How dope is this lamp made from actual used Krylon cans? The other cool thing is the cap is the on/off switch.

All aboard! Decided to head out by means of public transpo. Universal City to downtown hell-a. Final Destination- Standard Rooftop.

Made new friends with a young pack of skater boyz. Don’t call Chris Hansen on our asses.

I don’t know why we found this so amusing. (cough, sigg sippy cup, cough)

Cali Angels and friends.

Thanks to Family Affair for partnering with Surfrider Foundation West LA/Malibu Chapter to support the Rise Above Plastics campaign. The campaign was dedicated to eliminating single-use plastic water bottles and all other single-use plastic such as utensils and bags.

Special thanks to Chris Caparro and of course to Marques Wyatt and all the other DJ’s for getting our booties bumping under the sun. L.O.V.E.

Posts will be light until the beginning of next week. I’ve decided it’s going to be too difficult to drunk blog while basking under the sun at pool parties and going to see Public Enemy and The Cure. Party time! Excellent!

On a side note, please check out the Coachella website to read about the EnergyFACTory and TRASHed.

In an effort to cut back on plastic bottle waste, there will be 3 stations throughout the grounds offering the following:

• Free drinking fountains – 3 locations throughout the venue, please see map
• Bring your own container – it must be completely empty to enter the festival (from the main entrance or any camping areas). No glass, metal and no camel packs. You can fill up at the free drinking fountains or purchase cold filtered water for $1 per filling. 32oz maximum container allowed in.
• Purchase a $10 plastic 24oz water container and receive free cold filtered water all weekend.

Thanks Leilani!

My sister brought this bag in on Monday and said they were on everyone’s doorsteps, all up and down our street. What a nice gift for those of us that did and even those that did not participate in (this is the last time you’ll hear me mention this, until next year) EARTH HOUR! CFL’s what what?

LADWP, you rock and thanks for the mini reusable bag which will now become my traveling lunch bag.

Notice Kobe posing up in the flick. He’s the best Boxer rescue dog in the whole wide world. How could you not love that underbite?

Speaking of Boxer’s.. big ups to Azul for rescuing Ricky off the streets last week and finding him a home. I found out yesterday that he’s moving on up…to a beach house and will be uniting with his new family tomorrow. Azul, you the bomb baby..and this instantly makes you my flavor of the week.

Shepard Fairey’s tote bags for Saks 5th Avenue have officially hit stores.

The bags bear slogans like “WANT IT!” done in Fairey’s usual mock-propaganda style.

Saks is donating $15 to charity for every $20 bag sold. Click thumbnail for tote image.
