They are finally building a new playground down the street for the local kids to play on. They are just now putting down the bulk rubber mulch that is said to be long-lasting, very cost effective, safe, as well as being very environment friendly.
Back in the year 2009 the Obama’s were all in the news when they had a playground installed at the White House for their girls and their friends and they (the Obama’s) made it a point to use this type of base for the playground surface. From what I’ve been reading from the rubberrecycle.com website is that these rubber granule products are being smartly recycled from the huge amount of unwanted scrap tires that we all discard from time to time, so there is no shortage for used rubber to recycle and use for such wonderful products such as these.
In a time that the environment is a very hot topic, it does my heart good to see companies coming up with great ideas like this in their effort to do their part in becoming as green as they can and still be able to make a decent enough profit for their efforts.
More and more companies are joining in the green movement, which just floats my boat. I was brought up by two parents that seemed to be left over from the tree hugging hippie days and they really taught and instilled a lot of ways for us to do a lot of things in order to protect our beloved Mother Earth before it was considered cool. It was just the right thing to do and I’m so proud to have been raised by them.
A lot of places have made it so easy to recycle and yet there are so many people that are still not making any effort to recycle. I mean, where I live they provide each house hold these great blue bins to place our recyclables in. All that they ask you to do is to place them (after being filled of course) at the end of your drive way or the curb on Thursdays and they will pick them up and transport them to the recycling center where the items are sorted and then disposed of properly. Now really how much easier can it get folks? It’s as is these lazy people can’t even make a small effort as simple as this, for heaven’s sake. It really burns me up.
I understand that there are even web hosting providers that have jumped on the Green Movement. I really love that concept and plan on finding one and switching to one in order to support this important environment saving issue. This is one way to make a difference with little or no effort, so if you are interested in making a difference you can always check into this great way to help improve the situation.
And if your work place isn’t recycling I’d like you to urge them to jump on the bandwagon as soon as possible. There are plenty of ways for them to participate in recycling. It only takes one person to get something like this started and you could be that one person that makes a difference.
