Don't forget about tomorrows future!

Nature is a BEAUTIFUL thing! So why not try and keep it clean for future generations?

I have posted before about recycling, but I wanted to take that a step further. I was walking my dog, Sophie, the other day around my campus and I saw so much trash on the side of the road. So I decided to take a trash bag and some gloves with me to pick up the forgotten trash.

These are just a few different pictures I took of the forgotten trash.

All of these items are recyclable! So why not take the time and dispose of them properly? Plastic cups and bottles, as well as cardboard boxes are easily recyclable! So why not do it?

A lot of people depend on people like me to go behind them and clean up after them. They say, "Well some one will do it" But in reality, there are not many people out there walking and picking up trash! Everyone should take part in keeping the environment clean. People should remember that it takes YEARS for things to decompose!

Greenecoservices.com has a list that tells you just how long it take for everyday trash items to decompose.

Plastic Bags - 500 YEARS
Aluminum Cans - 200-500 YEARS
Plastic 6 pack cover - 450 YEARS
Cigarette Butts - 10 YEARS
Cardboard boxes - 4 YEARS

These are just a few of the things listed on greenecoservices.com. If you would like to see the full list click HERE.

For recycling to be so easy, why not do it?

If you blue containers like this one below, PLEASE use it!

I encourage everyone to try and find a way to make a difference in the world. Recycling is one of the EASIEST ways possible! Get a group of friends together from you highschool, college, church or organization, and go for a walk around your community. Pick up the trash that other leave behind and remember, RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE!

Here is a really good website to get some ideas on what you can do to recycle! (Link)

Lets leave the Earth a clean place for the next generation to come!

PEACE & LOVE,
