Reduce Reuse Recycle

I hope that you are all able to enjoy the beautiful crisp fall days that have finally arrived, I know I am!

Today I cleaned out my car and in doing so, I did my part to embrace the 'green movement'. No today my tip is not to reduce the entropy in your life, but to recycle. I had several plastic bottles as well as 2 copies of the Sunday paper floating around my car, but today instead of just trashing them, I drove the less than half a mile out of my way to the recycling center to recycle them. It was only a small handful of things, but it felt good to know that I was doing my part to help protect the world, and being less wasteful. When I got home I looked through my trash can, and ended up making another trip to the recycling center... as it turned out, more than 3/4ths of my trash, was recyclable! ( Imagine how much that could save on your garbage bill!)

If you don't want to make frequent trips to the recycling center, when you go ask them if they have a recycling bin. ( Many garbage companies will sell you one, or you may be able to get a free bin depending where you live). Another suggestion is to have 2 trash cans, one for recyclables and one for trash. I promise, you will be amazed at how much of your trash is recyclable!
