we do recycle....I realize it probably has only a minute effect but its something...

if it doesn't go to the recylers, it goes in the trash, and our garbage bill goes up...

we never donate our soda cans...we can get money for that...

the most important thing really is to reuse things...stop the tons of packaging...

That’s the key for me. It’s not about recycling garbage. It’s really about producing less of it.

BTW, Where I live I actually do separate my trash into three groups: Group one (food) is fed to our chickens. Group two (Paper, wood and plastic) is burned. Group three (everything else) is put in plastic grocery store bags. There’s not much of it. Every few days I take a bag with me to work and throw it in a public trash receptacle between the parking garage and my office.

I pay a Louisville income tax even though I live 75 miles from there. I figure I might as well get SOMETHING for my money.

And to be clear, this is actually more convenient than dragging trash cans the 1/4 mile from my house to the street every week.

Yepp....getting a small box, inside a big box (from AMAZON) is ridiculous...

We save our plastic shopping bags for trash can liners. The rest we donate to our church where the ladiea crochet them into blankets for the homeless.
