The very idea of getting paid to recycle may sound far fetched and you may think the story will end with, “…and they lived happily ever after.” But that is not at all the case with a company from Pennsylvania who has come up with the genius idea about how to encourage people to recycle. The company is called RecycleBank and it’s a Philadelphia-based private company that has a very, very high tech idea about how to interest more people in the thought of recycling. Read more

With the way technology is out-doing themselves year after year with newer, better, bigger and improved products for computer users, you can surely just imagine the amount of waste that is generated when consumers upgrade along with the process. One household may have one or two computers to upgrade on a yearly basis but if you add to that computers and monitors from even a very small business, the numbers add up very quickly. Read more

Have you been bombarded with advertisements and news stories about the very desperate shape our planet is in and thought to yourself, “I’m only one person, I can’t even put a dent in what needs to be done to make things better?” With all of the media coverage on issues like, acid rain, loss of rain forests, endangered animals, the depleting ozone layer and even former Vice President Al Gore’s pet project, global warming, it’s surely an easy thing to feel over-whelmed and small on this great space. But the reality is this; if not you, then who? Read more

For the past 25 years or so the city of Frederick, Maryland, has hosted a street festival in the fall. This event draws 75,000 people who flock the streets to hear good live music, enjoy children’s activities and purchase items made by local artisans. The event is lacking in only one area: the area of recycling. For all of its years in existence the festival has never ever had the means to take on the task of recycling its cans, bottles and paper.

Recycling has been around longer than any of today’s young teens have been alive and maybe that’s why recycling has never ever been a question for them as to whether or not they should recycle but has always been more of a “How else can we help when recycling,” kind of thought process. My very own generation, having grown up in the 70’s has a different mind-set. In fact, I have to remind myself the reasons we recycle, when to recycle and how to keep my family and household up-to-date and aware of the reasons to recycle. Read more

For 43 years or so I’ve been someone who never really finished the thought; when I throw something away it goes…
I’ve given myself a very great gift this year; call it a field trip, if you like, but I took myself to my town’s landfill and had my eyes opened for the first time. Maybe the concept of someone reaching their 40s and still not being contientious of recycling is one that sounds very far-fetched, well, it’s the truth. I didn’t grow up imagining the Earth covered in over-flowing landfills, piles and piles of garbage as high as the tallest building that was not my experience. But because the very idea of leaving too much waste for the Earth to handle is a bitter reality today, I’ve begun to educate myself. Read more

We’ve all heard all the warnings; acid rain, global warming, landfills without any room, and on and on. We don’t recycle because it’s the “in” thing to do; we recycle because we don’t have any other options if we plan to leave the planet for many generations to come. Read more

The very idea of recycling is to reuse an item rather than toss it into the trash and have it end up filling space in a landfill, right? Here’s a thought; why not have the waste in the first place?

In today’s world, where the very idea of recycling is not an option, but a necessity, having your own compost pile is a great activity and resources in keeping with the mandatory recycle laws.
