Welcome!!

When we think of green, the word "urban" does not immediately come to mind. We can change that, you and me. With each action, each person we educate, we can help turn the concept of a "gritty city" into "dense, green zones". We can do it, by turning green into an action word. Get to work and green your city!

Recycle Your Walk

A while ago we discussed walk-ability. We talked about litter being a hindrance to a city's walk-ability. Litter causes many problems, including pollution. Did you know that litter also can end up directly in our streams and waterways? This can add to pollution, affecting our drinking water and eventually our health.

Have you noticed this in your city? What can you do about it? Well, if you want to be a part of the solution, recycle while you walk. Sounds strange? Not really. I do it all the time. While you are on your daily walk, look for littered bottles or cans to recycle. If you live in an urban area, they wont be hard to find. Take a look:


I normally collect 4 or 5 each walk. When I carry a bag with me, I collect much more. I have become a Walking Recycler and you can too. I started a few years ago after a friend asked me to join her in neighborhood cleanups. This progressed to my participation in UnLitter Us as a Business Ambassador. My office is in a Litter Free Zone.

Become a Walking Recycler. Join in, walk AND recycle for your health. You wont regret it.
