Recycle All You Can

Do you recycle?
You do! Great!
I would but....there is not a recycling plant in 100 miles of where we live. We use to have recycling bins as part of our community. But a few years ago they were done away with. And I miss them.

Now I can take cans to a local aluminium cash in site. And you can return plastic bags to a bin at the grocery store. Also many stores have a place to drop of your computer ink cartridges. You can also donate your old cell phones to the cell phone store. But that is it.

I can not recycle paper, plastic or glass. I do what I can with food. First I do not have many leftovers. And I keep a container in the fridge for left over stew. Left over liquids go to the plants in the flower bed. And I rake the dog yard and put the waste in a heap with all my lawn waste. This will make great compost for the gardens.

I was reading about recycling in Australia online. They seem to have a really great system. They have a program called skip hire Sydney that has several good recycling tips. I borrowed them for all of us to take note of.

• Don’t use plastic bags to hold your recyclables – simply put your recyclables straight in the appropriate recycling bin.
• When recycling plastic bottles, make sure they are empty and remove all lids.
• Ensure that paper and cardboard is not spoiled with food, metals, glass or plastics before you recycle
• Recycle your newspapers.
• Printer Cartridges, Corks, Mobile Phones and Plastic Bags can all be recycled.
• Avoid using single use plastic shopping bags
• After a party, take the time to separate the recyclables!

Some other things to consider to help reduce your impact on the environment.

• Buy products that have minimal packaging
• Buy products that have recycled material in their packaging
• Buy Recycled products such as toilet paper and printing paper

Ring-A-Ding-Ding

I did a post not too long ago about a Promise Ring for College Girl. It was a beautiful looking ring at a fantastic deal. The ring was on jewelry vortex. Well they showed a great bargain.

Special Price :

$29.95

$145.00

$219.00

86%

And it has FREE SHIPPING TOO!

We were really excited and ordered the ring. This was a good ring at a great bargain. One we could afford. It was advertised as titanium metal. That should be able to with stand all that an active theater student can dish out.

Well the ring came in. Here it is on College Girls hand. Looks pretty, Right?
Well the "titanium" metal is actually a plastic ring.
We are greatly disappointed.
It looks good but who wants a plastic ring for $30.00?

Guess who is returning the ring?
Yeah...you got it.
