We have been a recycle home for 19 yrs

We have recycle centers available to us, we live way out in the country, so we have to pay for trash pickup. But in our house we recycle cans for my daughters "Earth Club" that she is involved in @ school., helps raise money for their clubs and they hold concerts and such to promote recycling, plus when weather permits, the kids go in on Saturdays and devote several hours to cleaning up the school grounds and surrounding areas in our community.

The city of Seattle has an ordinance banning recycleables in the trash. If your trash has more than 10% recycleables and they catch you, they can fine you.

we have to pay extra for them to come get recycling.




and i don't.

i did a little googling and he could recycle if he took the stuff to the foodfair on wednesdays better than nothing i suppose. but that just isn't as satisfying as taking your cans in and getting $10 back



you know what else i noticed? no recycling options in the airports i was in. and with the "no liquids" security thingy i was forever getting rid of a plastic bottle. (i went through security 6 times )

I don't recycle.

And I'm okay with that.

Leave the recycling for the Canadians.

Thats my motto.

WTF else are they here for?

Suuuure...and when your grandchildren have no snow to play in during the winter because of the greenhouse effect in burning all of that plastic at landfills, they can say, "It's all Grandma's fault! "

My dad's from Chicago, and everyone says "pop" out there and they pronounce it more like "pahp"

It's hella awesome that we Californians don't talk all wizzle, fo shizzle!

"in California alone, 19 million bottles each day are not being recycled."

150 a year times 20 years = 3000 and another 2000 in my future?

SureThing said:

Yep, that's our Al Gore.

TMPletz said:

Who was it?

They coulda got someone younger and cuter, if ya ask me.

SureThing said:

Try Idiocracy instead. A more optimistic view of a future where lattes come with happy endings!

Of course I'm not drinking any of that bottled water. That's just silly.
