Recyclstyling

Up until this point we have taken quite a light hearted stance on this blog, but that all stops...NOW. There is a major issue going on in society and we here at HSUGreen will not stand for it. I kid you not ladies and gentlemen, there is legit "Recyclstealing" going on all around us. Here is a breakdown of what happens:

• Kind wonderful citizen donates a recyclable material to the appropriate bin 
• That recycling is then collected and taken to the appropriate drop off site
• Then a horrible vandal approaches the site and steals these recyclable materials before they have the chance to even be recycled!!

We know exactly what you are thinking right now, "How can anything be recycled ever again if it is always being stolen?!" 

This is our point precisely. Which is why we must band together and stop people from this horrifying act! 

Some of you maybe throwing around the silly idea that this "stealing" is only "reusing", but you are wrong.  Allow us to use an example to explain better, "You put your recycling in your bin at home and then once a week someone comes to your house and takes it!" or how about this, "You are about to throw a bunch of paper into the recycling where it belongs and your nosey neighbor asks if he can have it to 'use for something else'"?!?! I bet it seems a bit more realistic and terrifying hitting a little closer to home, huh? 

Here is the bottom line, people: this is all fake. In all reality, please steal from recycle bins. We need to be doing that far more than putting our mass waste into a different container. Oh, and as far as that whole "stopping the light hearted-ness" stuff I wouldn't worry 'bout that too much. I mean, odds are if you have read this much of today's post, you're one of the smartest people ever and saw that pun coming the whole time. 

I dont know if you know, but we totes have a new background. Thanks to the neat person, Bailey Jarvis. She got a free Camelbak. Also Blake Fox (of the fox society) won a free Nalgene for our new facebook profile pic. You can see them both on this page if you just look at it.

You, and this is no joke, YOU can be on theGreenteam and help UNdumb the world. Your school needs you, plus you'll get free stuff later.

Green news highlight for today: "Farming is the new hipster occupation." For all you hipster haters out there, it's time to put down the anti-fixie signs and hug a pair of super low cut V necks. Hipsters might be doing things that "aren't cool" to be cool, but they sure are doing things, which is the point right? Riding bikes, recycling, making their own clothes, and now Farming. So here at HSUGreen we have come together and decided we totally have a crush on hipster activists. Keep up the uncool kids. Here's a Grist article on the very topic: http://www.grist.org/article/2011-03-07-farming-is-the-new-hipster-occupation-of-choice/  Any thoughts? 

You're neat.
