Thank you to everyone at UMB Banks for recycling with Cells for Cells

I picked up two very cool DIY boxes from UMB today.
Remember that Cells for Cells does not provide collection boxes for cell phone drives. We encourage everyone to reuse any old box…just like UMB has done.

Lowering My Electric Bill: Real Results with the Kill-a-Watt Meter
Posted on | November 29, 2012 | Comments Off
You can lower your electric bill with the Kill-a-Watt meter. Last month, I wrote about how the Johnson County Library is providing the Kill-a-Watt meter to library patrons for free. You can borrow the Kill-a-Watt meter just like you do any book. Log into your library account, place a hold, and pick it up when it is ready.
Although the press release claims potential savings in the neighborhood of 10%, I found my savings in the $5 per month range. Additionally, becoming aware of how expensive it is to run my Solar Comfort Infrared Heating System in the winter, will help me better manage that device to maximize savings.
As an exercise in knowing which of your electrical devices use the most power, borrowing the Kill-a-Watt meter from the JoCo Library is a must for anyone who calls themselves “Eco-freindly.”
Samsung Galaxy S3 v. Apple iPhone5

I currently use the Samsung Galaxy S2 and enjoy it greatly. I thought this video was hilarious. Notice that the Galaxy “performs” better for the first few seconds; however, the end result is the same for both phones. I hope all of that was RECYCLED.
Meet Haley Shaw: Cancer Advocate and Adventurist

Tell us a little bit about you, Haley. You just spent three years in New Zealand…
Yes, it was quite an adventure. I was at a point in my life where freedom and curiosity collided and I boarded a plane on Valentine’s Day to strike out for Wellington, NZ. While there, I decided to pursue a degree in Architecture. I figured if I was striking out for the unknown, why not cultivate my creative side as well! Prior to New Zealand, I resided in Chicago and spent several years working for a large health focused Non-Profit organization. The relationships that I built with patients and caregivers stayed with me and are at the heart of why I accepted this position with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
