Recycle, Recycle, Recycle.

Hello everyone.

I hope that you had a great week. Mine was so consumed with school and studying for midterms, that I did not have time to write a new post. Luckily, I did have some time to think about what I wanted to post. How about recycling. 

Here is an interesting thought from Greenwaste.com

Food for Thought:

The average person generates 4.5 pounds of trash every day – about 1.5 tons of solid waste per year. Although the EPA estimates that 75 percent of solid waste is recyclable, only about 30 percent is actually recycled.

 

 

Isn’t that insane? Well, my family keeps a separate bin in our house for recyclables, and if you don’t, well you should.

Things we recycle:

• water bottles
• empty ketchup containers
• cereal boxes
• milk jugs
• paper from school (that we don’t need anymore)

Easy enough right?

Well have you thought about recycling your leftovers? Create a compost pile, especially if you grow things in a garden. Compost is great!! Or what about your old clothing? You can always donate your clothes to places like Helping Hands in Rockwall, Salvation Army, Goodwill and so on. As a fair trade, you get a tax write off for it!

 

Recycling can be as easy as not throwing away old containers. Klint’s mom had an old bamboo box that she was going to throw away. He asked if he could use it, and he created this super cool watch holder!

 

So now he is neat and organized.

 

Leave me a a comment letting me know about your project! 🙂

 

Cheers,
