Writer wrap-up: 5 links to check out this weekend

It's a crazy work week, and after an anticipated 14-hour or so day on Thursday, I'm planning on sleeping in. So pardon my pre-writing, and check out these links instead:

• Kerri Anne at 5 Minutes for Going Green on "Paradise Lost, Garbage: Found."
• Jessica (also at 5 Minutes) on "Eco-Friendly Ways to Manage Tricky Trash"
• Crunchy Chicken gets political on "The biggest environmental threat"
• One Green Generation on whether dishwashers actually reduce water use.
• Green Baby Guide interviews a single mom who's trying to make better choices for the environment.

Have a good weekend!
