Saving the planet one day at a time

Our family started recycling a few months ago. Where we live, it is not entirely convenient to recycle. You really have to want to recycle. You must take the items to be recycled to the collection center and some items are not accepted. I am amazed with the amount of "trash" that we are keeping out of the landfill. Before we started recycling, our garbage bin was always full, sometimes running over with just a week's worth of garbage. Now, we barely fill it half way. I am actively doing something to help the environment. And my daughter likes to help "cycle" too.
