Articles on Good GuysHere's a great way to save printer toner ink, and you don't even have to cut back on your printing to do it! Save toner, save money, and help save the environment!

Disaboom is a social networking website created especially for the disabled - and for those living with people with disabilities and handicaps. Created by Dr. J Glen House, himself living with the disability of quadriplegia, Disaboom offers both medical expertise, and the insight of community members, who share their personal stories and experiences, and the result is a powerful resource for the handicapped where none before existed. We're really proud to be involved in this effort! The Boulder Dushanbe Relief effort, which is working with the United Nation's World Food Programme, is a joint relief effort coordinated by us, and supported by the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse, the Boulder Dushanbe Sister City organization, to help save the 260,000 people in Dushanbe and Tajikistan who are starving and freezing to death due to the extreme winter right now.
