Convert, Reclaim, Recover

welcome

This blog was created to support and promote the ideas of recycling and saving Mother Earth, by any means necessary. This blog has been written to target individuals who care about earth and would like to discover ways to help save the earth and all beings on it. Budding environmentalists are welcome here. I will primarily be speaking/complaining about the lack of recycling bins/care for the environment in New England. Mostly, I'll speak about Rhode Island, and URI. I hope all that read this blog will also pass on this information to others who may be interested. I will be posting about ways that we are harming the earth, and then giving ideas on how to help save the earth. I will also focus on recycling, it's benefits, and the types of items that can be recycled. If you care about the earth, or are looking for some tips on recycling, you've come to the right blog.

Is the Kindle green?


One question that I got was, if the Kindle truly is green.
The answer is basically, yes, if you use it often enough.
The journal of Environmental Science and Technology has estimated that by replacing your daily newspaper or magazine to the e-version, you will be saving approximately one tree per year.
Trees , of course, are not the only things being saved, but energy, chemicals, and fossil fuels as well. A study found that 67 times more water is consumed and 140 times more use of CO2 (carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas), is emitted by printed newspaper, versus the electronic one.
