As you know on many of my past posts I STRONGLY advocate for the use of reusable cups and I still stand by them. Although, I strongly support them, they are not perfect. Reusable cups are made out of plastic and are designed with the purpose of creating less plastic waste. This is a product that has provided us with a lot of good because it is eliminating the amount of plastic waste that we produce each year, but as I mentioned before there are still flaws to a seemingly perfect invention. Although, the goal is to decrease the amount of plastic, there is still a HUGE amount being used to produce these products. It would be beneficial for companies that produce these products switch to an even more eco-friendly material. Along with the overuse of plastic there are some other hidden problems that can come along with reusable cups. As an avid used of these types of cups, I have noticed a increase in the amount of mold present. I use these cups to drink water and it had never crossed ...

Throughout the world, there are MANY opportunities for each of us to help improve the environment. I believe that if we are able to continually make steps in the right direction, that there is hope for the future. As I have mentioned in many previous posts, there and tons of things that we can do to better the environment. I've seen people that are discouraged by the state that we are currently in, but I'm here to tell you that change is way easier than you may expect. Although, there are many areas that we need to improve on, there is still  HOPE . I believe that we can work together to change the outcome of our future. In my own life, I have seen the effect that recycling, carpooling, and the monitoring of our energy use, can play on my own life, just imagine if this was something everyone did. If it was normal for people to do all of these things, the amount of pollution and energy waste would decrease drastically. Something that is easy and will not only decrease your en...

For today's post, I thought that I'd switch it up a little bit and give you some insight in an interview style, from another person's perspective of the environmental state of our country. I spoke with Rexie Lanier, a Literacy Specialist at Unit 5 School District in IL. She is a big advocate for the environment and has a lot of experience with recycling and other environmentally conscious activities in both her school district and in her town. Me : So, are there currently any school sponsored recycling programs at your school district? If there is, do you think this has helped increase the environment of your community? Rexie : There isn't a district wide program that I know of, but we do have recycling in each and every one of our schools. And even though we aren't actively implementing a program, the recycling we do have in our schools, I feel has made a positive difference. In schools, kids are given many assignments and paper handouts from teachers, if...

There are MANY successful people in the environmentally friendly niche that are continuing to change the world. For this post I am going to go into depth over someone who has made many great improvements for this niche. The women I am going to be lightly speaking about is Dianna Cohen . She is the co-founder of Plastic Pollution Coalition , which is a group that is working towards a world FREE of plastic pollution. As you know there has been a lot of publicity in the media lately over the disapproval of plastic straws. This comes along with the controversy of that as well. Dianna Cohen and the Plastic Pollution Coalition have started this nationwide spread over plastic straws and the possible solutions. This past week I was in Florida with my family and it was evident that this change is being  SUCCESSFULLY enacted across the country and world. At one of the restaurants there was a sign that mentioned there was a plastic straw ban. In many of the restaurants we went to there...

Shailene Woodley is a VERY successful women in the movie industry. She has also been known to be an activist for many different causes. This post is going to be a subtle critique on the way that Shailene Woodley goes about her activism. I think that she has done a fantastic job of getting the word out for many different causes, but may have gone about it the wrong way. She is someone with a HUGE  platform and HUGE following, which makes it easy for people to see what she is doing. There have been a few cases where she has been arrested and seen in various interviews talking about her positions. As someone in the limelight, I think that she has a much greater responsibility in presenting these issues responsibly. Many people see celebrities as those to look at, but not speak. I don't think that's how it should be, but that is how it has been. As a celebrity, I think she has to be aware of the way it can come off in the media. When celebrities present their ideas, they ...

On this post I am going to be discussing the post from the blog called Eco Warrior Princess called  16 Everyday Items That You Probably Didn’t Know You Could Recycle or Compost  . I decided to share this post with you all because I thought that it was extremely INTERESTING and HELPFUL . I am always trying to learn more simple ways that I can help improve the environment and I think that you will all greatly benefit from tis information. Although, I am a huge advocate for recycling, I'm not perfect when it comes to knowing exactly what can and can't be disposed of. There are many, many things listed here that I simply had no idea. This list mentions mattresses, corks, and so much more that I had zero clue. After reading this article I came across this IMPORTANT quote: "We recommend reusing, repurposing and upcycling items before disposing of, discarding and recycling materials. In fact, we urge people to consume less as the initial course of action, and ditch d...

The future is BRIGHT . Many people may not agree, but the HOPE for CHANGE is coming. This Year in Review is about my hope for the future and how social media is changing our position in the mainstream media. I am thankful that we have the technology and means to establish this information in our society. The free-flowing information provides easy access to all of the desired parties. Many companies have been under fire in the media for their bad business decisions. This has ostracized many companies from performing at their peak. Social media has been a blessing in reporting and spreading people's wrongdoing, but not without a cost. As we know the media has a history of spreading things without fact checking. It in turn causes a detrimental issue. This can be a huge problem because it can cause irreversible damage to person or companies name. In cases of promoting companies doing the right thing, this is free and easy advertising for them. Although this problem has caused iss...
