Moon: Right? She’s always mixed up with trash. Sun: Hopefully, it works out with this new auto repair guy, Eco-Friendly Auto Center. Not only is he the first green-certified auto shop in the state, but services like biodegradable and re-refined oil changes ($25-$60) and eco-tire (more gas mileage) installations show he really appreciates her. Moon: Totally. I heard he collects all the old lube and sends it out to be re-refined for an alternate use, so it doesn’t clog her system. He also buys in bulk (meaning fewer plastic containers) and recycles nearly everything in the store. 5/3/13 Eco-Friendly Auto Repair Center | Miami - DailyCandy Sun: Aww, that’s sweet. Well, apparently he’s nesting, because his place has free Wi-Fi, public computers, a flatscreen TV, and even a kids’ area. www.dailycandy.com/miami/article/106127/Eco-Friendly-Auto-Repair-Center Moon: Let’s just hope she gets rid of those greasy types for good.

It’s a five-hour commitment per month for two semesters. Mentors and mentees create goals and chat by phone, in person, or via text.
