Green Tech Recycle

The new decade has brought with it a number of events that have touched and changed more than a billion lives across the planet.  Not all events are good, but the strength of the human being lies in his ability to process events and in turn adjust corresponding behaviors and attitudes in order to survive.

One major (though not drastic) change is the growth of awareness within the global population regarding the damage that our existence is doing to the world.  Over the past decades we have been developing technologies that, unknowingly, have been destroying the planet.  Though some people say that there is no cause for alarm since the effects would not be immediate, the fact remains that there will be an effect and some generation in the future will feel that effect.

In order to create change in the world, some people have taken on the challenge of putting the information out there for all the people to see, read and process.  Along with spreading the awareness, some have taken an extra step to recommend changes that we can implement in order to decrease the amount of damage we do to the environment.  Below are some of the good blogs and sites that tackle these topics:

1)      http://www.sustainabilityninja.com/ – This website posts good and bad news environment wise.  It lauds good government decision and provides people with options to take in order to make the world a better place to live in.

2)      http://www.thegreenshoppingguide.co.uk/ – Simply put, this is a business directory for green businesses. If the business supports or produces products that promote green living, then it could be listed here for free.

3)      http://www.aselfsufficientlife.com/ – A blog about using what is around and readily available in order to live a… you guessed it!  A self sufficient lifestyle!  It promotes recycling and finding uses for objects that we would normally throw away.  It also promotes frugality.

4)      http://www.paystolivegreen.com/ – Following the main idea of the above sites, this blog speaks of technological advances that are more Eco-friendly, and how we can reduce waste.

5)      http://agreenliving.net/ – Contains tips on being Eco-friendly, as well as environmental issues as well as short and long term solutions to these issues.

6)      http://cluttercut.blogspot.com/ – Convinces readers that a simple, frugal life would be best for all (personally, I have to agree with her).

7)      http://www.modernhippiemag.com/ – Another site promoting an ethical and frugal life.  No, it does not promote smoking pot despite the name of the website.

8)      http://www.greenlashesandfashion.blogspot.com/ – this should be self explanatory for any woman.  For the benefit of the men though, this blog contains advise regarding green beauty products (utilize environment friendly products and look good in the process).

9)      http://www.oureverydayearth.com/ – recycling tips are found on this site, as well as other tips for going green.

10)   http://www.permacultureprinciples.com/ – in a pinch, this site promotes being self sufficient.  Living without damaging the environment is the main theme to this scientific site.

Go through the sites.  They all have their own jewels of wisdom that could help us save on expenses.  Better yet, they help us lessen our own personal pollutant imprint on this earth.

Most people believe that huge corporations are only concerned about revenue.  Up to a certain point, that may be true considering that the bottom line of every business is the amount of revenue generated for the fiscal year.  In fact, this is how the success of a business is measured.  For publicly traded companies, this would determine if people would buy the stock or sell them, and ultimately determines their life and death.

Although revenue is the bottom line, companies and corporations take it upon themselves to be socially conscious.  This is because the community’s patronage is ultimately what keeps the company alive.  And since the community favors them, they have to give back.  This leads to several programs instituted inside and outside the company.  Soup kitchens for the starving, outreaches, charity donations and going green.

Yes.  Going green.  This is extremely important for a number of reasons.  One reason would be because the main thought going around is that the corporations are those that spend a lot of paper and energy, and are therefor the source of a huge amount of pollution.  Whether this is true or not is not the question.  The end point is, companies do spend a lot of energy, and should do what can be done to replenish whatever was taken.

Since these programs are instituted within the company, then even the vendor (also known as outsourced) portions of the company have to implement the same type of program.  The logical reasoning is simple: if we don’t stop taking care of the environment, then later on there will be no environment to work in.  Without that, the company will cease to exist.  It’s just a matter of self preservation.

Simple programs go a long way.  You can simply start small.  One change could be in the use of paper.  Streamline the processes and take away the need for signatures on paper.  This would benefit the company in two ways: savings on paper, and security of information as there would be less papers to take care of and shred (even the lack of shredding will translate in energy savings).  Since most, if not all, companies are on line, then that shouldn’t be so difficult.

Pay attention as well to how old and outdated hardware is taken care of.  Some just throw this away.  Encourage recycling, or even giving away the old hardware to charities that may make use of them.  For recycling, some small recycling plants even pay for junk that is sent to them to be recycled.  No matter how small, this would help with the purchase of new equipment.

Going green is a project for everyone, as everyone will definitely benefit from this.  No matter what country the company is in, going green should be a primary objective.  Some may just need a push in the right direction, but given the benefits, everyone will be encouraged to work on it.

Convincing a Mexican or a Hispanic of anything can be tedious, irritating, frustrating, and all the other negative adjectives you can think of if the one you are speaking to does not speak your language. So what is the best thing to do in these cases? Why, learn how to speak Spanish of course! Why not they learn English or American? Simple, you are the one who needs to convince them, not the other way around. And take it this way, when you learn a new language, it will be your asset.

How to convince your Mexican customer to recycle their waste will become very easy and fairly entertaining once you are able to talk to your customer about everything under the sun and not just recycling. Learning to speak a language should not be a deterrent to the cause of world ecology and if you speak Spanish, you might even learn a thing or two about how the Mexicans look towards recycling, you’d be surprised that they know some things that you don’t.

One thing that can deter you to speak a language fast is which program or book to follow. Going around with a dictionary is too undignified and someone looking like you will not look convincing at all. Instead, you would look ludicrous and silly, just to say the least. Spanish is a beautiful language and Mexicans love their language as much as you do yours. Things can be simplified by simply going online and look for a good Spanish program that can get you together.

How to convince your Mexican customer to recycle their waste involves eloquence of language. If it were not for the sake of trying to convince someone in Spanish, I would say that simple phrases would do the trick. However, convincing someone will need a better and more advanced program that is sure to make even the worst learner learn: Rocket Spanish. This is a fantastic program that is guaranteed to work within 6 days of extensive use.

Even if it takes forever, which I hope doesn’t happen, Rocket Spanish will surely help you develop good grammar, enough to be a tool for how to convince your Mexican customer to recycle their waste.
