The Campus Advantage Greensite

Okay, so I lied about Trick-or-Treating  for Cellular Phones being the last activity. Seriously, there are many other creative activities that you, your family, and your friends can do! All we need is just a little brain power. Am I right?

Anyways, check out this activity. I found out about it on a website called PlanetPals.com. I know this website is extremely kid-ish, but it has such a great green activity idea!

This activity is called, “Recycle and Earn,” by PlanetPals.com.

Activity: The Cell Phone, Inkjet, Toner Return Program. Visit official website.

What is it: The Cell Phone, Inkjet, Toner Return Program will assist schools and organizations to recycle ink jet, toner cartridges, and old cell phone and turn them into cash points.

So, while you’re out collecting cell phones, you might as well ask if people have used ink jet, toner cartridges that you can collect! So basically, trick-or-treating for ink jet, toner cartridges, and old cell phones!

Well, did Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF catch your interest? It did? That’s great? What? It didn’t? Wow, you are picky!

Today, I will introduce the LAST activity!

This third activity is called, Trick-or-Treating for Cellular Phones.

Activity: Trick-or-Treating for Cellular Phones. Visit official website.

What is it: The Women’s Funding Alliance and other women’s fund around the country are working in multiple ways, such as partnering with Green Halloween, with the Good Deed Foundation to collect cell phones. The goal is to recycle one million cell phones by the end of every year, thereby raising over a million dollars to be distributed via grants to organizations working to alleviate women’s poverty and find lasting solutions to climate change.

At about this point into the year, you should start to see gold and maroon leaves about to depart from their branches. You should start to feel the change in weather, possibly a little cooler. The reason I said, “possibly cooler” because our globe is heated. When our globe is warmer, possible severed weather changes occur. For example, we have had severed thunderstorms and constant rain in Colorado. Another example is, did you remember 2008’s Halloween? The weather was so awesomely pleasant! Everyone was able to flaunt his or her ghostly costumes without having the coverage of a sweater!

Anyway, the point of today’s post is to ask everyone to do a Green Halloween this year. For the following three weeks, I will introduce different Halloween activities that you, your family, and your friends can all do — to help our planet!

Hint: These activities are not your traditional trick-or-treating and are doable for those who think they are too old for trick-or-treating (ahem, teenagers!).

So, remember to tune in next week!

Happy October!
