While I’m still a little new on making sure that our recyclables make their way to the bi-monthly drop offs, I have already noticed a BIG difference. Most weeks we only put one single bin of trash out for the weekly pick-up. Sadly, it used to be 2-3. I’m very proud of the changes that our family has made, and I want to do more. I’ve been busy researching composting. It would be a great way to further cut down on our garbage, and it would help out our garden next year too.

I’m also happy to report that my hubby has started recycling at his workplace. I think that is just too cool, and a great way to help out too! I wish that more local businesses would do the same. Maybe one day we’ll have curb-side recycling pick-up, a girl can dream…
