Newspaper un-Litter

feb-16-newspaper-unlitter-green-prophet.jpg

Most neighborhoods have recycle bins for paper. However there still are many that do not. If you are unlucky enough to live in one of these neighborhoods tie your newspapers into a bundle before you dispose of them. This way you can prevent newspaper from blowing through your neighborhood and you can use one less plastic bag for your garbage.

Just another way to GreenYourselfDaily.

As far back as he can remember Jack Reichert has been interested in the environment. In the second grade, he rallied all of his classmates to donate one recess a week to cleaning up litter from the schoolyard. That was the same year that a city councilman asked him to help with his campaign because of the letter Jack had written asking him to clean up Boston Harbor. Ever since Jack has followed the development of the international green conscience with anticipation and hope that one day we will treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves and not turn her into another Giving Tree.

Waste Reform from the Ground Up: How Trash Balers Are Helping Cities Rethink Sustainability

If you’ve ever watched a recycling truck weaving through city streets, you’ve seen the problem firsthand.

Scientists Crack the Code for Low-Cost, Low-Carbon Plastic Recycling

Somali pirates steal oil tankers
