Recycling

I'm a firm believer in recycling—anything to keep trash out of landfills. And I think that most weeks we recycle about the same amount as we throw away. Our recycle bin is always brimming over with newspapers and soup cans.

It's been a gradual process to get my husband to recycle, though. He used to throw everything out. In fact, I think when we lived in our apartment (that didn't have recycling) we threw out a bag a day (OMG). Now, we're down to two bags of trash a week.

It started with the obvious, a gallon milk jug doesn't need to go in the trash. Neither does the Sunday paper.

And he's gotten better. BUT, he'll polish off a box of Cheezit's or Count Chocula and put the box in the recycling and will leave the plastic bag inside.

Oh well. You win some. You lose some.
