I'm recycling! I'm a recycler! I recycle!!!

But what about Bob???

I’ve always wanted to recycle but I’ve been too lazy to actually do it. Now I am and I feel so much better about myself. Who knew that recycling could be directly related to self esteem. I'm just so excited to finally be doing my small part to help the environment.
I discovered that I can drop off paper on the convenience store down the street and I can take cardboard, plastic and tin cans to the park and ride that’s just a little bit out of the way to the gym. Curb-side service would be better but I'm not complaining.

I have a box in my office for paper. My office is just two steps from my kitchen so I throw a lot of packaging in it. Then I have a dbig kitchen garbage can that I throw cans and plastic in. When it’s full I toss the bag out to the garage until I have a couple to take to the recycling bin along with any cardboard boxes I've accumulated. It's so easy! I'm sure Bob would agree.



I bought a new compost bin last week! We were using an ice cream bucket but I’ve been looking for something a little more stylish. This matches our kitchen and it’s easy to use. It has a removable plastic insert that we can take out and wash. When I’m cooking I prop the lid up with a clothes pin so it’s easy to toss vegetable scraps in. Dumping it on the heap outside is one of the jobs I have delegated to the kids!
