President Barack Obama scored a major victory on Friday when the House of Representatives passed legislation to slash industrial pollution that is blamed for global warming. This was pretty monumental because it was the first time congress really acknowledged the crisis that the environment is in. *The Waxman-Markey climate bill (HR 2454), passed in the U.S. House of Representatives is hailed by many as the most important piece of climate change legislation ever.

Next time you’re home, look around your closet. Your attic. How many pairs of jeans do you have there, unworn for months, years, decades even? I have four. Aside from the ones you keep for “some day” when you’re skinny again or returning to fat, which ones of those could go? And where should they go?

Made with patented Green Rubber outsoles, which comprise 42 percent recycled rubber tires, the Earthkeepers 2.0 has been engineered for ease of disassembly, with details like removable hardware that can be reused.
