I came across the TapIt website after reading an article on <a href="http://springwise.com/" rel="nofollow">Springwise</a>. They are always on the lookout for unique and innovative business ideas and post them daily. It would be interesting if TapIt and <a href="http://www.projectkaisei.org/" rel="nofollow">Project Kaisei</a> could combine forces and bring awareness to the effects plastic has on our environment. Project Kaisei is heading to the Plastic Vortex this month to study it's affects and if the plastic can be retrieved and recycled. My pleasure Leah.

My favorite quote during my time working for TapIt was a New Yorker who said, "I was tired of paying for the world's most abundant resource." Thanks so much for posting about TapIt!

Sounds like the name of an Electronica band. Thanks for posting this. Plastic just really bugs me. I designed a calendar last year made of recycled plastic. It was a client's intention to show environmental awareness. I found it incredibly difficult to find suitable recycled plastics, but in the end found one chemical company that creates it. They had no idea how much of an impact a product like theirs could have to reduce the amount of plastic in our environment. Wow. Sounds like the name of an Electronica band. Thanks for posting this.

The plastics photo-degrade into a soup that is ingested by fish and thus is enter the food chain. Aren't we brilliant??? Bravo on this initiative;
