almost forgot ...WE HAVE GONE GREEN

theson has us sorting our trash now in order to recycle. Recycling has been implemented in most areas, but as of this date our area has not made it mandatory, although I understand it should happen within the next year. theson bought three bins and each has been designated for either "glass, plastic or metal."

Recycling symbols vary slightly but we re having to familiarize ourselves as to what can or cannot be recycled. We have bought a can crusher to make a more compact packaging for the aluminum cans (beer and pop), and heaven knows we have a bunch of those. Even thegrandson is getting used to this idea.

I have to get used to the idea that storing the various end products on the counter and making a daily disposal trip is much easier, but I don't like having the clutter on the counters.

END RESULT IS GREAT - WE HAVE GONE FROM 4-5 GARBAGE BAGS A WEEK TO ONE!!!
