I do think it's good to do what we can to help out the planet, even though I still use tons of energy for my lifestyle. But we do recycle a lot of our stuff. We set up shelves in the laundry room to store it and make runs to the local recycler when the containers get full. It has made a huge diff in how much trash we put out for pickup. We used to put out 2 to 4 bags, now we put out 1 bag every other time! Another thing I did was sign up for Craig's List and Freecycle. On Craig's list, I offered a large satellite dish and receiver free for the taking down, because it was just an ugly annoyance in the yard. Yay, it's gone now! Then I offered a few things on freecycle and I gotta say, it's really nice to be able to give things to people who can use them rather than throw them away and fill up the landfills. Today people are coming to pick up some circular knitting needles and my old, but working, printer. Try it, you'll like it. That's my story for today, lol
