Living out Mission: June 2009

Recycling (tending the garden)

Ever thought about how much we throw away. Challenge: See how you can reduce your trash. We have gone from 3-4 trash bags a week to 1 - 1.5 a week. I'd like to get down to one bag every 2 weeks. Things to recycle: -almost all paper -tin cans (remove labels please and recycle label) -#2 plastic (only buy things in #2 plastic and that reduces trash) -glass jars Things to think about: -only buy what you need -reuse containers (my kids like to decorate them) -pay bills online (reduces paper) -repair what can be fixed And the list goes on......
