Dawn Patch, one of the all-but-invisible-but-god-knows-what-we&#8217;d-do-without-her adminstrators, has found a recycler who will take our bottles. The message: bottles go solo (but please give them soft landings). This is a followup to the enormous reduction in our paper usage by [...]]]></description>
