spread the science!

AS I learn about more websites and blogs related to Environmental Science I will add them to this post and update it!
  • I don't know about you but I didn't really know what CAN and CAN NOT go into the blue recycle bin that goes in my front yard every Thursday until recently. This website is for Riverside residents only and lists what you can recycle: http://www.riversideca.gov/publicworks/trash/recycling-what.asp

  • This website was provided by my professor. The Footprint Calculator will let you know "How much land area does it take to support your lifestyle?" You take an online quiz "to find out your Ecological Footprint, discover your biggest areas of resource consumption, and learn what you can do to tread more lightly on the earth."

  • Not to sound like a 13 year old girl but this next link is" really cool". It's a service where you pay to have a box with sample products that are natural. organic, and GMO-free delivered to your home! The site explains it better: "How It Works: Conscious Box helps you discover healthier choices. Our personalized subscription service lets you sample the best natural, non-GMO products, every month.
