\"Recycle\"<\/p>\n

Twitter has, literally, changed the way we share and communicate. Unlike Facebook, which is based almost completely on marketing ideas through social advertising, Twitter is a way of following (and even starting) trends. The use of hashtags<\/a> has made this even easier, by providing quick looks into popular topics or events.<\/p>\n

In the world of environmentalism, hashtags are really being put to work. Through a taste for activism and promoting change, they are utilized in such a way as to maximize visibility, and so there is potential for sharing across the globe. Many hashtags are so regularly used that they have tied together whole communities of those looking to promote and live a greener lifestyle.<\/p>\n

7. #WaterWednesday<\/a> – Want to know how lack of water sanitation is affecting residents of Sub-Saharan Africa? How about the water levels of your own region and what the local council or representatives are planning to do about it? For all things water, this is your hashtag.<\/p>\n

\"WaterWednesday\"<\/p>\n

8. #Recycle<\/a> – One of the cardinal rules of going green is learning to reduce, reuse and recycle. Here is a nice little hashtag that helps with the latter process, teaching you new tips and tricks as well as keeping you up to date on recycling news.<\/p>\n
