Girl Disposing of Her Batteries

Submitted by BunnyB on Thu, 10/14/2010 - 23:00

Ok, it's been a long time since I've posted here, but today I've witnessed the most un-eco-friendly act that I've seen in a long time. It just ruined my entire day, which is why I'm here to let it out, niceely! : )

Here's the event in slow mo:

1) I'm waiting to meet up with a friend in a building at school. He's a few minutes late so I'm in a waiting area just sitting on a bench, minding my own business. Next to me was a disposing receptacle (an area where people throw “stuff” out).

Recycle Your Old Cell Phone

There are many valuable components that can be recycled in cell phones. Companies may refurbish cell phones for third world counties to use for emergencies.

Use Empty 2L Plastic Bottles as Ice Packs

Submitted by Mr_Tip_a_Day on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 23:55

Instead of buying ice packs for you coolers in the summer, fill your empty 2L bottles (but not fully as they will crack) with water and freeze them.

Send Recycled or Electronic Greeting Cards

Submitted by Mr_Tip_a_Day on Sun, 09/05/2010 - 15:17

Greeting cards are a multi billion dollar industry, which means a lot of paper is being used. Reduce your impact by sending electronic or recycled greeting cards.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Follow the order of the 3 R's. First reduce the usage, then reuse as much as possible, and lastly recycle.

Recycle Your Batteries

Batteries are extremely toxic for our environment. Find shops that recycle batteries instead of throwing them in the garbage.

Did you really think companies are recycling cell phones for the good of the environment? hahaha... it's only about profit for businesses, just in case you believe everything you hear.
