I want to take up the challenge to live more greenly... Not a bad thing... Even if I don't reach my own personal hopes, I am still dong better than what I have been... So here's the question(s)...
Which things CAN be recycled?
I mean, I know that almost anything can be recycled, re-used, re-gifted, re-turned, reduced and so on... But when you live in a place that has those blue recycle bins, what CAN go in them? I have seen everything from plastic bottles, glass, plastic, cardboard, magazines, paper, plastic shopping bags, to cereal boxes, styrofoam containers and peanuts, clothes and shoes, even an old computer monitor. But I know that not all of that is going to the right place in those blue bins... And do you need to rinse out the cans and plastic bags? Can a pizza box really go in there?
So WHERE do you take the other things that can go someplace other than in a landfill?
And while I am asking...
What about composting? Is there a good way to do this? To avoid the smells? And what can go into that?
I know this is probably ambitious... But better to be armed with the knowledge and the ability to actually do something than to continue on in bliss and feigned ignorance. So please... Comment... Educate me. Or tell me where I can go to find out better answers... What works for you? What has not worked? What do the folks that you know do? How much is enough? How far is taking it all too far? And not to be forgotten, what can go into those blue bins?
As you can see... I am wearing a different kind of green today...
And I really do need the helpful advice...
Thanks!
