7 Facts You Never Knew About Volunteerism In the U.S.

 

Topic Ideas

  1. Recycling in NYC
    As more and more people become interested in sustainable living, there is an increased need to learn about how to recycle. Over the last few years I’ve tried to reduce the household waste I produce that goes into landfills. However, this can sometimes be challenging. What can be donated where? Why are Styrofoam cups such an issue to recycle?

My blog could investigate the quick and easy ways to reduce waste in NYC. This could include finding the best locations for electronic recycling in the city or finding which companies offer deals to those who recycle.

There are many non-profit and city-run groups that encourage recycling. New York also has many greenmarkets that host events and have weekly recycling and composting services. There is an increased push for recycling in New York since 2015, when the city made it illegal to throw away electronics in the trash.

I could also interview people on their experiences with recycling and what tips they have for others.

2. Students and Debt

As a senior I’ve started to think more about how to handle student debt when I leave college. Every student has different strategies for dealing with debt. For some it becomes overwhelming. For this blog I want to learn how students plan to deal with student loans. Is it something they prepare for?

I also want to interview school advisors on their advice to students. I want to let people know the best sites to find scholarships and unique ways to save money while still enjoying life. I want to discover companies that offer discounts, etc.

I could write about students experiences working and going to school. Many students at Baruch work at least part-time jobs, and I want to learn about their strategies for success.
