going green

our trash service recently stopped picking up trash two days a week. now, however, it's picking up trash one day and recycling the other. they 're really encouraging people to recycle and have provided recycling bins. i was very excited about this when we got the letter in the mail. i know, i'm a bit lame and it doesn't take much to excite me but i've really never been a recycler. i recycled paper every so often at school but not consistently. the recycle bins were just down the street from us too but now, they come to me!

i challenge myself to see how little trash we have each week. i recycle just about everything i can. i will admit, it's a pain - rinsing everything that i used to just toss. but, a little extra work to help control the landfill population isn't so bad! here's our first week of loot!
