It's very late in the day to be posting about this very worthy effort of bloggers to make the general public more aware of environmental issues. Still, it's never too late to make your own choices as to what YOU will do. Blog Action Day was established to educate everyone to ways they can reduce, reuse, and recycle in order to clean up the earth on which we live.
I've posted about this already, earlier today, on my Forward Thinking blog. There, I encouraged the use of solar power. But that's not the only thing we can do.
Consider how many plastics you use and discard. Some of them have the recycle symbol on them which means you should be able to take it to your local plastic recycling center. Recycling plastics will help the environment in a couple of ways. Firstly, manufacturers can use the recycled plastic for containers that would normally be made from new materials. Those new materials are petroleum based. I know you can understand how this would save fossil fuels. Secondly, recycling plastics keeps them out of our nation's growing landfills. Plastics take a very long time to break down in the soil. Our great-grandchildren will still be dealing with them many years from now. Let's recycle them instead and reduce the waste in our land.
Make every day Blog Action Day and help save our earth-ship.
