Recyclebank: Getting Paid To Recycle? »


recyclebankThe 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 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 high tech idea about how to interest more people in the thought of recycling.

Idea being recyclebank:

It may sound like a science fiction movie, but the idea is to issue wheeled totes to people that have a computer chip implanted in it that would keep information about the people who own the tote.

In addition to the name, address and phone number information there would also be included a bank account number, linked to RecycleBank that would tally the amount of recyclable-waste that is turned in to a collection truck that would be equipped with a special computer and barcode system.

It will work along the same lines as the self-serve lane at the grocery store and other retail stores.

Recycling While Outdoor Play Time! »


recycling while playingWithout a doubt the best play time is spent outside in the fresh air and in an effort to remain responsible to the environment there are a few things to keep in mind when out and about.

Recycling while playing:

Recycling doesn’t just mean to be conscious while you are in the home. You should also be conscious outdoor.

Cutting down the unnecessary use of petrol and electricity are also in the recycling process.The best place to play is somewhere that you don’t need to fly to, take a train to, or drive to.

Yeah, your own backyard is a good place but not everyone is fortunate enough to live near a national park. There are bike paths to find and trails to hike that can be found all over the place, and can be new journeys of adventure with very little effort.

Check with your town or city hall, they may have little treasures all over your community that you go past everyday and are not aware that there is a walking path tucked in somewhere because you don’t take the time to walk in and explore.

Keep Our Planet Healthy By Recycling! »


planet healthy by recyclingWe’ve all heard 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 generations to come.

Recycling:

When you think of recycling you should really think about the whole idea; reduce, reuse and recycle. Think about it; if you don’t need it, don’t get it. If you have to get it, get something that can be used again and if you get something that needs to be recycled by the professionals, put it in the recycle bin.

These are easy concepts and yet there are still people out there who ignore the signs. The signs aren’t just the ones that bare the recycle logo, but the signs that the oceans are warming and the snow caps that were visible a few years ago are barely an outline as far up as you can see.

If you’ve seen the Al Gore movie, An Inconvenient Truth, you’ll know that those of us a few miles inland from the coast will be looking at water front property one day, without having to move.

Recycling Programs And Today’s Teens! »


recycling programsRecycling has been around longer than any of today’s young teens have been alive and maybe that’s why recycling programs has never 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 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.

This new, younger generation, is an impressive one, to me. They seem to be aware of humanity on a global level. Lessons they’ve been taught in school on a consistent basis have always had a common theme; take care of the Earth or we may lose it. They are keenly aware of how wasteful prior generations have been and seem to be of one mind when it comes to solving those problems.

Recycling Keep The Environment Safe From Harmful Chemicals! »


recyclingThink about recycling and maybe the first thing to pop into your head isn’t damage that’s done to the earth when we use products with harmful chemicals, but that’s part of the cycle, too. As well as reducing waste, recycling products and reusing what can be reused, protecting the earth from harm is all a part of the same cause.

Recycling:

It’s not something we set out to do, at the beginning of the day; the thought isn’t, “Hmmm, how can I hurt the Earth today?” It probably sounds something much more like, “Gee, I need to clean today, let me reach under the cupboard and see what I have,” not realizing that whatever is done with the products I use to clean, once I’ve cleaned, can be harmful to not only the earth itself, but any living things that may come in contact with the wash off.

We live in a sterilized world, where the idea of a clean home, clean work place and clean where ever we take our children is the first order of business. But we need to stop and think about what harm we may be doing in our quest for the cleanest living area.
