Silver Spring, MD, USA | Wed Jun 24 13:30:00 GMT 2009

There's little attention to the landfill, since recycling and reuse are ignored. Annabelle and Holter offer stylish solutions and even show the owners how to recycle all that hair!

Learn more about the beauty salon's eco crimes and go green plan.
