During the summer I have been taking walks through the streets in my town. I have found it very interesting on garbage day! I was so disappointed to find a ton of recyclable items in people's garbage. Just walking by I could see aluminum cans, cardboard boxes, and plastic containers! It was not just a few houses, but about very house I passed. I'm not digging through garbage cans. I'm just noticing through the clear or white garbage bags.
This tells me I need to educate people about what can be recycled and what can not be recycled.

I found this book
1,001 Ways to Save the Earth by Joanna Yarrow. I really like it because it is short and sweet. The book really gives you simple ideas to help you change your life. Now I want to become a bee keeper! I love honey but also the bees help pollinate plants. Actually, most of the tips you can really do in your home without any inconvenience.

The school I teach at has become a Green Vision School!! We worked all year to improve everyone's habits and teach the students to think about the environment. I am very excited and look forward to another year of Green Team meetings.
The other teachers at my school make fun of me and call me the "Recycling Police." I have to say that I have saved many yogurt contains from the landfill.

I bought my husband a rain barrel for his birthday in April. We didn't get it set up in our yard until the middle of May. I think the 60 gallon barrel was full the third day we had it outside! We have had so much rain and heavy downpours! Now I wish we bought more!
My husband has made connections to get large barrels from a bussiness in town. He is going to start making his own rain barrels. I will have to keep you posted my how it goes.

I learned about Chico Bags from Zaproot. I didn't make it time to get a free one from ViroPop, so I went online to check them out. I ended up buying 5 and now I am giving them away as gifts. I really like the bags because they can fit in a purse or be clipped to a handbag. It seems like I always forget to bring in my canvas bags into stores, so now I have no excuse.
