Preserve, Stonyfield Farm, Organic Valley, and Brita have teamed up to collect and recycle number 5 plastics leaving NYCWasteLess (like some yogurt cups, hummus tubs, and other food containers) and Brita® pitcher filters leaving NYCWasteLess.
These items can be recycled via the Preserve Gimme5 program leaving NYCWasteLess by bringing them to a participating Whole Foods location leaving NYCWasteLess or Green in BKLYN leaving NYCWasteLess. Caps can also be sent to Aveda for recycling through its Recycle Caps Program leaving NYCWasteLess, which are then sent to Preserve.
Voluntary take-back programs such as these enable the recycling of certain rigid plastics that would be uneconomical to recycle through NYC's curbside recycling program.
In 2008, Fermilab particle astrophysicist Craig Hogan made waves with a mind-boggling proposition: The 3D universe in which we appear to live is no more than a hologram.
Now he is building the most precise clock of all time to directly measure whether our reality is an illusion.
Watched a tiny bit of the Texas / NY game last night. My first baseball of the season. Dave, what's the deal with the weird thick rope necklaces almost every player wears? Some sort of new age energy focuser BS?

Michelin awards 2 stars to 18-seat cafe in a Brooklyn grocery store
By The Associated Press (CP) – 4 days ago
NEW YORK, N.Y. — An 18-seat cafe in a Brooklyn grocery store has won two stars from the prestigious Michelin Guide to New York.
Michelin Guide director Jean-Luc Naret calls the Chef's Table at the Brooklyn Fare grocery "one of the 300 greatest" restaurants in the world.
It melds French technique with Mediterranean and Japanese cuisines.
The price of the tasting menu isn't quite as humble as the surroundings: $135 per person.
Cesar Ramirez tells The New York Times he never expected the honour.
But the chef and partner is glad New York's Brooklyn borough is getting recognition. Says Ramirez: "It's always about Manhattan."
Ramirez says he's eternally grateful to his mentor. David Bouley's restaurant got one star in the guide
