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.

Simple tips for Saving the Planet - and also, save yourself


  1. Drive Less
    -Walk, ride a bicycle, skateboard, Rollerblade, or even take public transportation. Doing any of these things will improve your health by forcing you to exercise.
    -If you drive less and leave the car at home, you not only reduce air pollution, but you also lower greenhouse gas emissions, save money, and improve your health.
    -Research has shown that families who use public transportation save enough money annually to cover their food costs for a year.
  2. Eat more Fruits, Grains, and Vegetables
    -Raising animals to be used for consumption produce more greenhouse gas emissions than growing plants.
    -A report by the University of Chicago found that adopting a vegan diet does more to reduce global warming than switching to a hybrid car.
  3. Use Reusable shopping bags
    -Worldwide, up to a trillion plastic bags are used and discarded every year.
    -Reusable shopping bags reduce pollution and save natural resources that would have been used to make plastic or paper bags.
  4. Use fluorescent or LED light-bulbs.
    -They are more energy efficient, and less expensive.
    -According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, if every U.S. household just one regular light-bulb with a fluorescent light-bulb, it would prevent 90 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from power-plants.
