As I have talked about before, at our home here in Houston, we recycle. Since today is "America Recycles Day" I thought I'd bring it up again!!
Recycling is easy and in many cities, they pick up your goods for recycling. All you have to do is put them in a bin instead of the trash. We don't have our recycling picked up at the curb, we have to go and drop it off. But it's not so bad since our trash has decreased so dramatically (meaning we are contributing significantly less to landfills).
I'm not going to try and convince you to recycle. If you don't do it by now, chances are you won't. I personally attribute it to laziness. Kind of like the people in the grocery store parking lot who don't return their cart to the proper place when it's literally 2 car spots over. Because, you know, someone else will take care of it. But that's just me and my opinion. Well, it's up to us to take the initiative to take care of our planet. And recycling is a good start.
