Green Team

So my last blog about going green was lacking images of all the cool graphic tees that are out for sale these days. I don't know why I feel so passionate about this topic. I think that Purdue over all as a campus needs to become more aware of easy and practical ways to make our earth more environmentally sound. I think an easy example would be with our Exponents. How many times do you walk into a class room and find random papers that have been read through a couple times just lying on the floor. I would guess seven times out of ten those newspapers could easily be recycled. That is such an easy habit to start! One thing I have noticed in my house full of 80 girls is how wasteful we can be. We have water jugs all through our house with paper cups. I don't even want to think about how many cups we go through a day. I for one was noticing that it is too easy to gulp half a glass of agua and then go back for another cup an hour later. A very easy solution is buying a water bottle that I can easily refill when I need to! Here are a few cool tees I found! You can be fashionable while spreading a positive message!

Thanks for making people aware by writing this entry!
Every time I walk into my evening classes I see so many newspapers lying around without having a place to be recycled. Those tees that you featured are cool and can definitely motivate people to recycle more.
It's a surprise that your house uses plastic cups instead of ceramic ones! Purdue has been doing a good job lately as they are now selling the recycle water bottles, shopping totes and by also having recycle cans in residence halls. But I still think more people should speak up to save our mother earth.

This is such a good topic to write about! I wish I was a little more dedicated when it comes to recycling and actually being "green". Hopefully you could convince a few more people to help the environment and protect the planet! I also think its great that gthere are clothing lines out that push the idea too. Not only are the clothes fashionable and fun but they promote a great message too!
