I am shocked at how many people don’t or don’t know about recycling. My own mother was surprised recently when I had her turn over her water bottle to see the number on the bottom and told her what they stood for. She lives in a senior mobile home park that offers ZERO recycling opportunities – even the trash company just has one pick-up that comes through for “regular” trash with no way to recycle plastics, steel or glass. My dad always takes “the cans” in for extra $$$ so they DO do that, but were just oblivious to everything else. Since we started recycling we cut our “trash” down to just 2 kitchen-sized bags each week for 4 adults, 2 dogs, 2 cats and a bird. We take bi-monthly trips to the recycling center for aluminum, glass and plastic bottles – and I’m much more aware of the types of plastics I’m purchasing at the store. Thanks for these tips – I will definitely be using them right away!

When I eat at restaurants that automatically give you napkins they always seem to give you way too many.
I bring the extras home and use them in lieu of paper towels or with my meals. Who cares if they say McD’s or Wendy’s on them….they’re NAPKINS and not going in the trash never used.

Fast food restaurants also waste alot of product by giving you too many condiment packages in to go orders too. Don’t throw them away …. use them when you have a picnic or take your lunch to work. Nothing worse than waste but waste with product still in it which is the case when you just dump these extras with your waste trash.

Anyone know if fast food plastic lids are recyclable??????

At home we’ve pretty much stopped using paper towels. I use cloth dish towels when I am cleaning. If I do the windows or mirrors I use the free “Reminder” newpaper I get in the mail every week. I let the dishes air dry if I hand wash them.

Thanks for the great ideas. I look forward to receiving your newsletter. I like the above suggestion about taking home left-overs from a reataurant. I invested in one of those Tupperware containers that pop up for food storage or pop doen for pantry storage. It’s not as conspicuous as a non-collapsable container and when I’ve used it people usually comment on what a good idea it is. Until restaurants come up with a greener way to package left-overs, I will continue to tal=ke along my little orange collapsable bowl.
