Curb Day Aims to Derail Wasteful Ways
Curb Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 16 and is slated to give people the chance in the United States to both cut down on waste and give to others at the same time. Mike Morone, a former teacher living in the Rochester, N.Y. area, is heading up the effort. Morone, who calls himself a big fan of toner recharging, started a program that recycled more than 2,000 computers for students while he was a teacher.
