Do you recycle?
I try to recycle when it is convenient for me, fortunately my municipality makes it convenient to place paper, bottles, and cans into a single container, with general trash in another. At my previous apartment, I also had a food scraps bin, so even if I used paper plates I could drop in them in to be mushed into planting soil — even with the food on them!
If we as human kind on planet Earth are to continue on with our existence, we must recycle. It benefits us economically too: recycled goods don’t cost as much to manufacture compared to raw materials, and there is a never ending stream of reusable materials as long as more people do their part.
Did you know that cars are the most commonly recycled item? They take hundreds of barrels of oil to produce, but they are also mostly recycled into more cars that don’t take as much oil to produce, and hopefully use less oil when in use.
