162 x 30 = 58,320,000
It is estimated that each major league game produces 6 tons, or 12,000 pounds of potentially recyclable material that is taken to landfills. 30 teams play 162 games, so if you add it all up, MLB is responsible for adding more than 58 million pounds of trash to our landfills every year.
Too cold for shorts…too hot for a sweater
This month, the Rubber Meets the Road is all about blowing off the winter blues and jump starting the season with some of the world’s biggest parties.
Bordering on Genius – Rubberific Landscape Borders
As the snow begins to pile up for many of us, and for the fortunate few where snow is not part of Mother Nature’s plan, flora goes dormant until the spring rains bring new life to our gardens, we need to take a moment to pause, think, and create a plan of action for the next round of flora festivities. When many of us say that “we like to garden,” what we mean is that we like to plant, wait, and then view the bountiful beauty that we have created. Sadly, it is not this simple, as there are hours and hours of prep work that need to be completed before we can head to our garden center, pick out our lot, and get our hands dirty.

Most of us live in a reasonably large city, or in close proximity to a major metro, but
The Power of Partnership
There are some of you out there that I could never convince to use recycled rubber products in your yard, and I am alright with that. Some gardeners like to reclaim old pine needles and use them for mulch. Others start their own compost piles in the backyard, and lessen the impact on the environment by mulching with organic materials. This is good and you should be commended, as you are doing the same thing we are, recycling products to give them a second life. We are all in this world together. This month, some of the focus of my entries is targeted at recycling as a whole, not solely reserved for recycled rubber, as this is just one of the many items you can purchase and use to help better the world that we live in.

Freezer to Oven in 5 Hours or Less
If you are like me, snow has its place, a few days a year around the holiday season, followed by an immediate warming back to the 80° degree mark.
Preparing for Old Man Winter
The temperature is falling, the color is fading, the warm wind from the south has shifted to the north – these are all signs that our friend Old Man Winter will be making his annual appearance. For those of you fortunate enough to live in climates where winter means putting on a sweater at night to “take the chill out of the air,” or reducing the amount of SPF you put on before hitting the beach, we envy you, as 90% of the United States goes into hibernation in the coming weeks and months.
Rubberific Tree Rings
So you fancy yourself a “master of the moss,” a.k.a., someone who takes great pride in how their lawn and landscaping looks. You own every conceivable accoutrement for grooming your lawn. Some may even say that you are the envy of a professional groundskeeper at a major league baseball stadium. You have mastered the “diamond grass cloth pattern” (if you know what this is, you know I am talking to you), and friends and family call you the “Da Vinci of Da Lawn.” It is a moniker you wear with pride.
