[GreenYes] Re: RecycleBank Videos

[David Biddle <Dbiddle@no.address>]

Christa-

I will be publishing a second piece on RecycleBank in InBusiness magazine
this spring updating the last article I wrote in October of 2005. In the
meantime, there are a host of articles at the RecycleBank website:

understand the psychological aspects of some of this:
