You may have seen the shameful pictures and videos of pollution in our oceans. We keep hearing about how the polar ice caps are melting at higher rates. We hear about how long it take for something as simple as a styrofoam cup or soda can do break down. If you’re like me you’re wondering what you can do to make a difference. Maybe you even have an idea, whether big or small.
In my little town we actually don’t have a recycling program. Even though the next town over does. We only have a single set of bins near our community building for glass and newspaper. For years now we’ve been saving cans and when we get enough we actually drive to the recycler to have them recycled. Our football team does a scrap metal drive to recycle scrap metal so we save things like broken bikes, old mattress frames etc for that. I’ve also been trying to choose products that have more eco-friendly packaging.
But maybe you have an idea for an eco-friendly product, biodegradable packaging, green spaces, etc. If you do the Dr Usha Rajagopal Grant might be for you. Dr Usha Rajagopal is offering a $1000 grant to help people start businesses or business owner to become greener.
I love seeing the green ideas out there from machines that take garbage out of our waterways, to biodegradable 6 pack rings, and more. Annie Chung’s soup bowls are made from a cornstarch material that are eco-friendly and it’s one reason I purchase their soup bowls.
