REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteOur ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?
Heather Macdonald 10/03/2018 8:15 AMWhere I live is pretty good at taking most recycling products. What's included: Bottles/jars any color, plastics, paper based food and beverage boxes, metals, paper, and cardboard. This is just curbside.
I learned that there's an actual drop-off center that will recycle more including VHS tapes, CDs, clothes and shoes as well as hazardous household waste and electronics.
Also learned that I can throw light kitchen wise in with my yard waste. Guess that's like composting! Interesting.

Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth."

Heather Macdonald 10/03/2018 8:03 AMSunrises and sunsets are my favorite times of the day, much like in this quote, to give thanks and get ready for the day. Particularly, if there's a fantastic sunset or sunrise. It's been so cloudy so it's hard to do, but changes in light can indicate this thought process as well.
