You know what I'm going to say.. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. But, did you know, there should be many other "R"s in this cycle? RETHINK, Reduce, Reuse, Reuse, Reuse, Reuse, Reuse, Reuse, then Recycle. Now that's more like it! People hear this saying all the time but don't think anything of it. All I'm asking you to do is one simple thing-- take a second to think!
Rethink- Think about what you're doing, buying, etc. beforehand. Don't have to have regrets.
Reduce- Reduce your waste and wastefulness. Reduce your thoughtless buys. Reduce using anything that you don't need. And reduce useless things from your schedule. (That last one just saves time and stress, and maybe a little gas.)
Reuse (until you can't anymore)- Pretty self-explanatory. Reuse everything that you possibly can until you've squeezed every last use out of it.
Recycle- Also speaks for itself. Recycle everything you can when you can't use it anymore. Not only can you get money (some recycling plants will pay you to bring them aluminum, plastic, and glass; I've gotten almost $100 this way) from this process, you get peace of mind knowing that your well-used and well-loved object is receiving a new function.
So Rethink, Reduce, Reuse (xInfinity), and Recycle. It's that simple!
Everybody living nowadays has heard of the "green" fad. Some people go all in, going vegan and living in completely energy efficient houses, but some of us just don't have the time for that. Highschoolers, such as me, and others who have equally busy schedules dismiss being ecofriendly as something good in the long run, but not something possible for them. With all the things going on in our lives, we don't have time to be "green", right?! WRONG. There are many names to be a friend to our planet without going crazy or spending all our time on it. There are simple switches which you can make in your everyday life which will make your life more ecofriendly, and, sometimes, even easier.
Now, there are people who believe in and do not believe in man-made global warming, if you are ready to completely trash the idea of being green just because you don't believe in man-made global warming, you're not very smart. (no offense.) Even for those who think global warming is just a cycle the earth naturally goes through, being green is much more than global warming. You can't say that recycling, not dumping waste into our water, and keeping the smog levels low are all just part of the "propaganda piece" of global warming. It's not, it's just taking care of the only Earth we have.
This blog is about and for people who want to be green, and ways for them to make their life greener in simple and easy ways.
