    Have been a vegan for seven years and a vegetarian for 27 year before that.  Took two totally enclosed composters to my church, so hopefully, I will use this compost next year on our church garden.

     Donated a kidney on my 65th birthday.

    I recycle to raise mission money for my church.  If a plastic item does not have a number on it, I write to the company to ask what kind of plastic the item is.  Ippolito Foods liked my letter and sent me a huge reusable bag in reply, and the answer to my question.  One quandry:  the wire item that holds that spinach or other green, with a tag with the grower's name on it.  I was told that they are #6.  But they do not look like Styrofoam.  So I am loathe to put them into my #6 recycling container.  During this challenge I will pursue this question of both the wired part and the tag and how to recycle these items.
