Recycling

Okay, I have been slow at getting into this, but little by little we are doing our part. 2 years ago I started recycling cardboard. It was easy and not messy and so that was my first step. My kids on the other hand, had learned in pre-school all about recycling and they think it is really fun!

So a month ago, I took a big step. We are now recycling everything that we can. The county gave everyone these HUGE containers and you don't have to sort anything, you just throw it all into this big thing. It is kind of fun. I keep it in the garage right near the door from my kitchen so now about 3 or 4 times a day, I toss things in. I am amazed at how much stuff can be recycled.

Now I wish I would have started years ago, but it seemed like a lot of work, which it is at first, just breaking old habits and forming new ones. But, this is definitely a good new habit. And I feel good about it!
