SPT Challenge.....Reduce, Reuse, Recycle


This was a challenge for me...

I must say that I am not good at recycling all that I should. My kids keep me in line in that area. The kids have been talking a lot about this in their classes at school lately. I guess because it was Earth Day on Sunday. They come home to tell me what can and can't be recycled. I'm glad that they know so much about it. They actually do some of it for me. I never discourage it if they are excited about it. I guess I'm just lazy when it comes to recycling. I would much rather toss it in the trash to get it off of my counter right then than to walk out to the side of the house and put it in the recycling bin 20 x's a day. I definitely did my share yesterday when I collected up all that I had set aside for this challenge. I'm not Earth friendly in the car department either...I drive a big SUV but need something big enough to carry my family in. I love my Suburban and wouldn't trade it for anything.

I live in an area that the bins are provided so there really is no excuse for me. I definitely admire those who are good about recycling. I do know that every effort to do so can make a difference. I will do better....I promise!! :D
