Blog green - a project for January

NicoleB

I will have a little (?) project going on in January.

Let me give you some details first.

I walk a lot. I see a lot. I take a lot of pictures.
I hate trash.

I collected trash in Korea. In Kuwait. Now it's time for Hungary, I guess.
I am just not going to take it quiet any more.

I want you to go out into nature with me in January or into your neighborhood, take big trash bags and gloves with you.
Take pictures, lots of them. Before, during and after collecting the mess of our fellow countrymen.

Let's post the pictures on our blogs, at least.
Let's send them to CNN ireport or any other news agency.
Let's make some noise.

Are you game?

I am.

Please leave a comment either here or on nicoleb.org/b2/index.php/blog-green: my blog with your blog url so I can add you to my list of participants.
Best let me know whenever you blog about the project so I can add a link and send people over.

Give me feedback of any kind, even if you just want to call me a moron ;)

Good plan Nicole, I'm in.

NicoleB

Cool, will add your link asap :)

NicoleB

It's January :D!

oreneta

Still in Paris...I'll be on it when I'm home.

NicoleB

No worries, have fun :)
I'm following your adventures in my RSS reader ;)

I'm still a bit sick, so I'll be on it later as well.

NicoleB

Thanks for the big bump, Julien :)!!

I will post a link to a page later on where I'll post all the actions that happened already in blogland.

I realize that January was probably not a great time to start this.

Everything in our environment is solid frozen to the ground ;)

Nut I had a good kick from one of my blog friends.
We were talking about recycling.
I said, there is no recycling going on here in Hungary where I live.
Wrong.

I remembered that we have containers for paper, glass bottles and plastic bottles.

I'm such a moron sometimes.

So, yesterday I did my first green thing in months and recycled paper and plastic bottles :)

NicoleB

I made a little website for the project - not very pretty, but useful ;)

oreneta

Thanks for the nudge...I'll get going on that now...

NicoleB

I've done some recycling.
No big deal you think.
Yeah, but I'm a moron sometimes, go check for yourself ;)

Just found your project - Good for You!! ;)

I always try and remember to take a bag with me when I go out on walks, to put in the bits of plastic and water bottles and general trash that I stumble over. I also recycle as much as I possibly can. I'm not sure I'll manage the camera though - I'm not so good at the technology!

But I am certainly with you in spirit, and will continue to do my bit to keep our environment clean and green. :heart:

NicoleB

Will add you asap.

Glad you are already doing all that :)!!

And just take the cam, point & shoot ;)
Easy ;)

I'm in the mountains, and my agoraphobia kinda strikes when I'm not in my own environment, but wish you luck with this project.
Just across my building (here in the snow), we have the three bins... I should start thinking about putting my recyclable garbage in there, but it's cooooooold !

oreneta

Nicole, I took the bag, I took the camera, I picked up the garbage (mostly plastic with some shotgun shells mixed in) and TOTALLY forgot to take a picture!  *forhead slap*

I'll post about the effort and try again.  I suppose picking up the trash is most important, but blogging about it and getting others doing it is important too....sorry. 

There is this abandoned moto out there, that should take me a while to haul out.  *gasp*

NicoleB

Mwwwaahhhhhhaaa :D
You are too funny :D

Yes, the effort counts.
Photos would have been great, so I can give you somelinky love on your blog ;)
Next time :D

All is still solid frozen here.

I guess I will just let the project run for February as well *shrug*

:)

I would go for it too, but unfortunately I'm too busy these months.
We are waiting for a link to the blogs of those who participated. If available, of course.

NicoleB

The whole link list can be found right here:

:)

Let me know when you want to partake. I will let the project run the rest of the year, not only January :)

Hi Nicole,
Any update about your project as there is no more talking it till now?
Cheers.

The project is still running.

I had a couple more clean up projects from people that usually come to my blog.

I have an inquiry with the EU running regarding EU littering laws (not that those guys are very helpful).
Thing over here is, that clean up projects in my woods will end with me having ten million ticks. All the trash here is in the hedges and those are infested with ticks.
I think here in Hungary I'll check it more on the legal side.

Any ideas and suggestions welcome for the project :)

I encourage the idea, i got the same too, i was waiting to gather a big collection first.
