Hi As you can tell my name is Amanda. I have a question for you Ms. Barbara. Have you ever met Mr. Branstetter? If so you would have met a 95 yr old man. Do you think a 95 yr old man should be out picking up litter even if it is on his property. Have you ever considered going out and picking it up yourself instead of posting blogs about how he’s not picking it up. I’m not saying littering is a good thing I am for a clean TN but we all have to work together not complain about it.

  I am glad that you read the blog and I’m glad that we all have to work together on cleaning up litter. I know Mr. Branstetter and have always admired him. Unfortunately the law states that if your property is littered, it is your responsibility to clean it up. I have picked up trash off his property many times. Metro Public Works has also picked up the big items (like mattresses). That’s our tax dollars at work.
  
  I spend at least 40+ hours a month on the litter problem. Today on a leisurely walk, I picked up a discarded Coca-Cola can.
  
  Would you like to join me in doing a clean up around the property? I can get trash bags, gloves, etc. from Metro to do this? Plus Metro will pick up the trash we collect.

  Hi from Oakland.
  
  Picking up trash? Inmates to do this chore out here in orange suits!
  
  But maybe the trash is more valuable and could be bartered?

Nice touches on your writing. Is English your primary language (if you don’t mind me asking).

  Thanks for the comment. Yes, I am a typical American, who only speaks and writes English. Hopefully well.

This is a great blog that you have here. I’m shocked that I haven’t spotted it out before.

I was wondering if we can exchange links. Check out my site when you can and let me know if this is possible.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Jason

If you have any old cell phones to recycle, go to haveUrebooted.com for a free mail-in label or free drop off location

-Cell phones are one of the least recycled electronics in the world and over 100,000 go out of use every year in the US alone. They are horrible for the environment if they get thrown away and every part of them can be recycled

Hey, we just started http://greenfession.com – our site where you can confess your environmental transgressions and learn what you can do to change!

We thought it would be a fun way to get people to talk about their efforts, and more importantly, for people to comment and provide solutions.

So yeah, we’re just trying to spread the word and get some links back to our site! We do have a few ads on the site, but they’re simply to pay for the website script and hosting

Thank you! Let’s make a change!

  Hi there – that is great! Greenfession! That happened to me 4 years ago – but unfortunately I didn’t have your site to confess to. I did, however, turn my confession into a business. http://www.greensak.com is the direct result to an internal confession of not being as kind as I could.
  
  Thanks – D

The last time I had to get rid of my old electronic devices I used http://www.recycleapc.com I did some research about them and It looks like they had all their certificates up to date. They also are an official Apple and Asus recyclers so it was an easy choice. They are highly trusted and have been in this business for decades. 30$ is a small price to pay to know that my carbon footprint will be smaller and my information will be safe.
