America Recycles Day

Ok, how did I almost miss 11-15-2010, or whatever year since 1997 is America Recycles Day! Perfect timing, I was just going around the house to gather the recyclables, as tomorrow is trash/recycle day. I am very grateful that about 2 years ago or so, our town in NC delivered a recycle bin. My family and I fill that bin up every 2 weeks, and take it to the curb to be picked up. So in all honesty, I am just doing what I would normally do. I love timing like that!!
I love that Jack Johnson song, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! So appropriate! Find out how you can make some simple changes in your neighborhood, and find out what products are recyclable so you can also be more environmentally friendly.

Check out this awesome website... for some great links & ideas! America Recycles Day

Car Recycling!

This is a new one I just discovered! You can recycle your car! You can call You Call We Haul to come pick up your clunker. It is a free service, and they do recycle 95% of the vehicles that are turned into their service! The one thing I am not sure about is whether or not you can write this off on your taxes.

I am really glad that this is an option for us, especially in the United States where cars are the dominate source of transportation! It truly is awesome how many ways we can Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in the times we live in. So, look into recycling or donating your car today!

Top Ten Simple Ways to Go Green

Check out this awesome resource from Microsoft News Center. This is a great resource to find ways to reduce waste by different avenues of recylcling. One of these links we really do tend to forget about is how to recycle our electronics. Talk about saving some space, let's start recycling these products instead of filling up the landfills with them! This is an awesome resource on helping to recycle more. We use rechargeable batteries as much as possible.

There are several companies such as Energizer that make batteries that will recharge in 15-20 minutes, one kit includes an A/C and car charger! Stay tuned, I have some information on a company that will help you go green while vacationing coming soon!
Remember, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It is becoming easier to this every day.

What can you do to help reduce your footprint today!?
