The fashion designer Carlos Miele has launched a terrific campaign aimed at benefiting the rainforests, which simply has to be a good idea.

This tee shirt has been designed by Carlos Miele, but there are other designs from such celebrities as Scarlett Johansson, Camilla Belle, Michael Roberts, Diana Picasso, and Alice Braga, which is bound to add some interest in the project.

It has been stated that twenty per cent of each sale will go to the rain forest project which initially may not seem to be a great deal, but when you find out that some of these tees are being sold for anything up to and beyond $173 then it makes perfect sense.

Miele launched a consumer guide recently. “What Does WEEE Mean to Me?” explains the recent UK legislation regarding electronic waste and its proper disposal.

The legislation is designed to fight the growing quantities of electronic waste in landfills. Last year, over two million tons of electronics were disposed of improperly and ended up in landfills. This is a lot, and its consuming tons of space.Miele’s new guide explains the new symbols that will be put into place, how to dispose of certain goods, and whose responsibility it is to dispose of what goods — when it’s you, when it’s the retailer, how you do it, etc.

The regulations come into effect in August. I suggest you pick up a guide and start learning soon!
