The Camping Experience

I just wanted to let everyone know, that for the next couple days until around Wednesday, you will hear about the environment around me, and possibly about some eco friendly actions that the area is taking to help out the wildlife. See you in the tent for the next few articles!

Yes, Converse Made Recycled Shoes

While in Florida a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon an interesting article that I couldn’t help but read. It mentioned that Converse, the shoe company that has redefined footwear, would be coming out with a collection of recycled shoes. Now, these aren’t just any ordinary sneakers and high tops, these were made out of…

Way To Go California!

Yesterday, I was lying in bed looking at the news, when I stumbled upon a rather happier article than what is out there today. On the Good News Network, an article appeared about the school buses in California that are being said goodbye to, to make room for fully electric ones. Looking into it a…

My Solar Phone: Part 4

So, about a month ago, I created a challenge for myself that later I found out to be trickier than expected. It was a challenge for me to bring a solar charging source into my life, and live with it for the whole summer. Well, it didn’t turn out as expected, and here’s what I…

There’s Water Within These Milk Cartons

So, I’ve heard about this idea before, but forgot about it up until just yesterday. A couple of my relatives posed for a picture that was then sent to me. It was of them in front of a milk carton-that didn’t have a drop of milk in it. There was instead water contained in that…

These Glasses Plant Trees

If you know me, you know that I love startups, especially ones that have a mission to save the planet. Can you see where this story is going? Anyway, because I’m a person who has to wear glasses to see clearly, and because I’m a person who loves the environment deeply, there was about a…

Another Article About Your Plastic Packaging

This article will be a bit different than other articles, because each paragraph has a small story about my experience with plastic, and/or trash in general. If you are reading this in your email, I suggest that you go to the page on the website for better formatting, and because this might be a longer…

Why We Need More Human-Centered Towns

Think about it–what if you could walk to the grocery store, bike the quarter mile to the local swimming pools, then go pedal to the beach and coffee shop in the evening. Wouldn’t that be a beautiful life, doing it every weekend? Not only that, but it would also help the environment out tremendously because…

My Solar Phone: Part 3

So, as I said in the previous phone article, I discovered that you cannot rely solely on solar power to charge an iPhone 8. This proved to be true while I was in Florida last week, as I plugged it into the wall to get a little power for the day, and forgot to unplug…

The Genius Grocery Store

Today was the day that I traveled to Minneapolis to take a look at what one may call an outstanding development. It was an inspired trip from a woman residing in Duluth, MN, and I loved the idea. It may be what you could call an amazing start-up, but it’s what everyone is calling, the…
