This weekend, I got to hang out with my friend Lauren Singer of the environmental blog, Trash is For Tossers. Lauren and I were introduced this past fall by mutual friends who thought we should meet.  Lauren not only is a rad chick, but she's making serious moves in her life and is full of drive and ambition. Lauren also holds an insane amounts of knowledge about humans and their environmental impact. Lauren lives in Brooklyn and leads a zero waste lifestyle. She does not use plastic items. She brings her own napkins to restaurants. She asks her cocktail servers for no straws in her bloody mary's.  She produces one mason jar full of trash per year.
