Recycling

Apr 22, 2007 14:27

and so the long haul begins. I've started the ball rolling today by emailing Barnes and Noble about the lack of recycling in area stores. I've also found a local place that accepts paper and plastic and pays for it.

I've got the intentions of perhaps talking to Dawn and Jude about recycling in the dorms. Perhaps in the last few weeks of a semester, especially as everyone is leaving the dorms, all the old and unwanted notes and handouts could benefit the school or the HC or something. College campus worldwide use so much paper in notetaking etc. High schools and middle schools too! Hundreds of pounds of paper are probably chucked at the end of each semester/school year.

This is so sad, considering the amount of trees, something like the size of 11-15 soccer fields a day, are destroyed. The amount of pollution that occurs, the loss of oxygen, the global warming as a result--it's so sad!

We need to make an effort people! I am calling out to you. Right now it would help for us all to work individually and recycle as much as we can. This is our earth. We are living on borrowed time and borrowed soil. We should care for the planet that we live on. Think of what an issue global warming really is...let's start working together everyone!

I'm making this my life's work. Yes sir, I am a tree hugger, but if we all contributed just a little bit, this world would be a better, and greener, place.
