Why Waste? Recycling in Boston

Click to Play

I interview Paul Gurspan of Special Project Management about his new company, Why Waste, formed to recycle waste from construction projects. I got rid of some old storm windows which are being recycled. The aluminum and rubber are being recycled and the glass goes to local glass blowers at Diablo Glass School.

Paul then goes on to tell us about his truck, a 1968 Mercedes Benz Unimog . Very cool.

Parody of the Eagles Desperado featuring Hillary Clinton. Performed by: Dave Wildman Lyrics: Dave Wildman Editing: Steve Garfield http://cupopolitics.com Lyrics: Desperado, why dont you come to your senses? Youve been out losing races for so long now Oh, youre a hard one I know that youve got your reasons But I wish you would keep them To yourself and just step down Well you tried to play the race card But you're not the hating kind And that plagiarism line just never worked Now it seems you got some delegates And youll use them if youre able But it only makes you look like a jerk Desperado, oh, you aint getting no younger Your pain and your hunger, and vanity drives you now And winning, oh winning, well thats just some people talking Cause losing is all that you are ever gonna know Dont your cheeks get sore from grinning all the time And the people crowd around the other guy And its hard to see just why you dont go away Youre stooping to the lowest lows And you cant seem to keep your big mouth closed these days Desperado, why dont you see what youre doing? The road to your ruin is the only path youve got You may be losing, but theres always tomorrow You can save all that sorrow, for your Oprah guest spot Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/llimaorosa/744250138/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/protectourprimary/468646996/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sskennel/836612585/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/seiu/374542734/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/nrbelex/2232632457/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/pingnews/514592820/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/protectourprimary/468647902/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/midnightquill/2176811961/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/midnightquill/2245430833/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevegarfield/1719169405/ Audio: CBN.com, CBS on AOL
