Being green has become a part of my daily life. Recycle, reuse, reduce has been permanently sketched into my brain. Now every can, bottle, boxboard or plastic piece I pick up in my hand, I take a second to decide which of my blue boxes the item goes into.
About six months ago the County in which we live, decided to reduce our weekly garbage bag limit to one bag per household, and to give us a nice new green bin to add to our duties to get rid of our compostables. Seriously folks how does the County expect a family of four to only have one bag of garbage per week? Hubby and I have a hard enough time trying to keep the one bag limit quota per week.
Then there are the items we use that are not recyclable or compostable such as diapers (babies and adults),old rags, clothing, small electric devices, etc. All of these items end up in our garbage bags which puts people over the one bag limit. This is what leads people to dump their garbage at the side of a road or in the countryside.
I am all for "being green". I beleive we have toxins everywhere that we breathe in on a daily basis because we have poluted our planet. Cancer and other diseases have run rampant through our society. We only now are starting to see the damage we have done to our world. Hopefully future generations will be able to breathe clean air.
So yes I will do whatever I can to save our planet.........
