Hi with all the reports on improving the enviroment these days, I was wondering if people were starting to recycle more or changing things they use to be more enviromentally friendly. I know I am making more of an effort, what about you?

We need to recycle waste materials - There is a need to cooperate in this endeavor, that is to recycle trash in order to reduce over pollution which is perceived to be the cause for global warming....it calls for a concerted effort by everyone...after all, we are citizens of this planet, and whatever happens to it is our concern...
Yup, I do because we are openly campaigning for a green and clean environment...one of our programs is to recycle our trash in school...so at home, we segregate our trash and we recycle some of them, from plastics to containers, even clothes, rugs, and anything that can be recycled. Some of our segregated trash are sold to the junk shop, and the proceeds go to our scholars, who are children of scavengers...this is a program of the entire institution, so I make it a point to practice it at home; hopefully, with these little things that we do, we can provide an example to the community, and of course, make a difference to the environment.....

Yes I am certainly making more of an effort. We are recycling at work and all our paper goes into one bin and all the other rubbish goes into the other... I am going to start recycling at home as well with all the waste veggies and stuff that I am going to put into the ground in the backyard and then in that way recycle as well. The same with clothes and things we send them to homes and places that can either make use of the clothes or they sell it really cheap to raise funds for the home. We make sure that both sides of the paper is used before we put in the paper bin. I also try not to use plastic bottles for water and juice because after a while the plastic gives of some chemicals that are harmful to us as people and to the environment. So I try and use glass more than plastic. Good Luck with your efforts and hope that it is successful.
