Changing the Way of Trash (Including Dogs)

Posted on by

New York City is changing their way on collection trash and recyclables. Since the 1800s, the people of New York didn’t care about where the trash would end up, such as the ocean. In 1934, Secretary of State places a law that no trash are allowed to be dumped into the ocean, so trash is now being places in landfills, which takes up space. This video explains how the trash system has changed to this day and how they want to make it better that saves money for their company, the environment/land, and the sanitation level for the people to be healthy. Also, below it is an article below the video that explains about how letting dogs pee on trash bags and recycling bins is not a great idea for the garbage people.

Why the Garbage Man Might Dislike Your Dog

That would really change the way of living for the people of New York City, but in a good way. Just think about what you could do in your state that is similar or the same as the people of New York City are doing.

Article: A Restaurant that Never Waste a Thing

Posted on by

My dad  found this article and showed it to me the other day. It talks about a restaurant called “Sandwich Me In” that “hasn’t taken out the trash in nearly two years.” Meaning that “there isn’t anything to take out” and send it to the landfill. Justin Vrany, the owner, has a goal to become a “zero waste restaurant in mind.” So far, it is coming true and they make about “eight gallons of waste” per year.

For more details, here is the link to the article:  This Restaurant Hasn’t Taken Out the Trash in Nearly Two Years

 

Article: For Fitness, Intensity Matters

Who do you think lives longer?  The person that runs a 17-minute or less pace or a person that run a mile in over 17 minutes on average?  The answer is in the following article:

…more specifically in the following sentence from the article:

…people who walked briskly, at a pace of 17 minutes per mile or less, generally lived longer than those men and women who strolled during their walks, at a pace of 20 minutes per mile or slower, although the study was not designed to determine why the intensity of the exercise mattered.

Be intense, and immerse yourself.

Snow and ice

On January 2nd, my dad and I ran around a park in a neighborhood, close by, that was covered by about a half  foot of snow. It was at first cold, but we warmed up along the run. It was about 2-3 miles. A morning run for both of us. I wonder if anyone had ran in some deep snow?

Actually, have you ever heard an Antarctic Ice Marathon? It is the first time that I see races down in the coldest places in the world. Is this a race that you want to try? I would not try it right now for me.
