Schwaggin’ shout out to EarthFirst.com for coming out and supporting The Schwaggin’ Wagon at Twiistup4 and SummerMash LA last week. EarthFirst.com knows that even a little bit of green sustainability goes a long way:

If you’ve ever been to a convention, you probably have some of this junk sitting around your office or home: mugs, hats, pens, calendars and other items emblazoned with corporate logos.  You may use some of them for a little while but chances are, before long they’ll end up in the trash.  The brains behind The Schwaggin’ Wagon, Michael Liskin and David Preciado, realized how wasteful that really is one evening over some Thai food, and decided to do something about it.  The Schwaggin’ Wagon, which runs on sponsorships, travels to conventions and takes all that schwag that no one wants and donates it to charity.

What little things does you consciously do in the name of sustainability?

Mashable Summer Tour, Schwaggin', twiistup |

Twiistup4 was a huge success and we had a great time spreading the good green word and collecting unwanted and excess schwag for Operation Gratitude. Thanks again to Mike Macadaan and everyone at the Viceroy for making it happen.

Tonight, the Wagon will be in full effect — in the form of a bio-diesel eco-limo — at Rubicon. Come by, say hi, drop your unwanted schwag and come hitch a ride to the Schwaggin’ Wagon / GirlGamer after-party at Busby’s in Santa Monica.
