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.

URI - Recycling around Campus.


As one walks around campus, you'll probably notice the garbage cans. How could you not? They're practically everywhere. In fact, just around the quad, there are about 4 or 5 garbage cans. But wait, where are the recycling bins?
URI seems to think that people will only be recycling inside the memorial union, and right outside the "ghetto" dorms.
There are no recycling bins anywhere around campus. Atleast, none that I have found.
So, URI, if I'm walking to class drinking an Arizona Tea, where am I supposed to put the can? In a garbage can, you say?
Then why, does the URI website have a separate section for Green Links(!!), if we do not even have a bin or box in which we can place our recyclables in, during our walks to and from class.
And apparently, only students who live in dorms around Gorham and Hopkins need to be able to recycle, as I have not seen any recycling bins around Wiley, Garrahy, Burnside, or any other dorms.
I'm considering sending URI a letter of complaint.
