A Road Paved with...Robbie Williams?

As you know, we’re all for eco-friendly practices here at IT. And when a green initiative pokes fun at a former boy band member and has a travel angle? To be honest, we can hardly stand our good fortune. So imagine our delight upon reading the news that unsold copies of Robbie Williams’ latest solo album will be recycled to pave Chinese roads.

Indeed, British record label EMI has announced plans to ship upward of one million unappreciated Rudebox CDs to China to be crushed and repurposed in street lighting and road projects.

Trudging through China’s streets has never been so satisfying. Take that, smog!
