Blog #8 Falling behind

I am falling behind on my blogs so im going to blog about what i did yesterday. Yesterday i went to go look for more cardboard since the rest that i found was all nasty and dirty. I started around with my neighborhood but unfortunately i didn't find anything of my interest. So i went out to like small businesses and ask for some. Of course they had some but these small shops need money so they wanted money for it. i didnt take it because its a recycling project witch means that i should use my money. Besides they had  cardboard that was all torn and full of grease.  

Blog #7 Times that are not so lucky

Today is Wednesday April  16. I'm doing my blog today because later on I'm going to forget. During the weekend I spend more than 4 hours looking for cardboard but most of it that i found were like full of grease and dirty, wet, and very smelly. But on the other hand i found aluminum and a little bit of plastic; the one problem with that is i really didn't need it. When i found cardboard i was so excited but when i pulled it out it was all covered in like slime and smelled really bad so i just left it.

Blog 1-The Beginning

Marcos:

                     Me and my partner Josue are going to start recycling all that this recyclable such as plastic aluminum, cardboard, metals and many more. Also we are going to create different kinds of creations, mostly made of recyclables. This would help our neighborhood, schools and community. By recycling we can reduce all of the trash from our community and at the same time we are making the place green. My partner and I are looking for plastic, aluminum, glass. Then once we are done we'll expand our ideas to do more.   

Josue:

          Hello everyone. My name is Josue. Me and my partner have decided to work together to use recyclables to make things. Some might be big, and others might be small. But the important thing is to find things that people would find unusable into something reusable. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

blog #6 Got money

In the past week i didn't do much because i was too focus on the cahsee but on Friday i found i found a ton of plastic bottles. Like almost two full bags but with aluminum i didn't find as much oh well. I also found a lot of cardboard but unfortunately most of it that i found was all wet. I also need to find all sorts of cardboard for the big up-cycling project that my partner is doing. My inventory is kind of small but it took me a lot of time to collect it. I want to start to trading all of my recyclables for money. i will post pictures later on. OnApril 5 I sold  a small bag of aluminum and a big bag of plastic and got $16 bucks.

   

Blog #5 My Scrap Metal

i didn't do my last post because i didn't have anything to blog about but for this week i did a ton. On Monday for this week i found a ton of aluminium and plastic. i also found cardboard too. On Wednesday i found some kind of metal for like building racks or something. It weigh a ton; it was like 8 strips of this heavy metal. i didn't  take an pictures of them because my camera broke.

Blog #5- When Opportunity knocks.....

So I was pretty bored one day eating at the table. So bored that I was going through the mail I fetched. Out of a magazine published by Anaheim, which gives the community daily and upcoming events news, something caught my eye( realizing now as I type that would really hurt). A future event is going to be held at Muzeo in April. This event involves creating art using recycling materials. I believe it was called "Trashartist" or something like that. It was unbelievable! Immediately, my mind began reeling for ideas, reaching into the great depths of my mind and getting ready to present them to my partner. Of course there's a catch: postponing our earlier project for something with a sooner deadline: April 1, 2014. I have an idea on how and it involves time-traveling into Anaheim's history........and soda cans........lots and lots of soda cans.

#4- Change of Plans

Josue:

So I thought about this for a while and I figured that we should tweak  our plan a bit. For example, why show how much recycling happens when most people know how but are too lazy to even try( although there are the few individuals who actually try; you have my thanks). So I just thought of just going through full up cycling. Seems like a better way to reuse. To remake something of little to no use into something better. Sometimes you got to take something apart to make something better. I will try to post photos, though this thing feels like it doesn't upload pictures correctly. Thanks!
