"I Can Change The World With My Own Two Hands." ~ Ben Harper
This is what I am doing with my own two hands...
Judging by the 2 pizza boxes (Thanks BPB!) this is two weeks worth of recyclables.
No, we don't actually go throught this much food in two weeks, just that this is what was emptied out of the cabinets during this time period.
My community doesn't make recycling easy, we have to collect it and then bring it (yes, put in in my car & drive...) to my local recycling bins, about 7 miles away.
It will never cease to amaze me how, as humans, we are so greedy.
Almost everything we do is to look out for ourselves.
We work out countless hours to ensure health, We save money for 'the future'....
We put so much time, energy and resources into the future. But what kind of future is there?
We have no future if we have no Earth.

I use to recycle when we first moved here but like you said, they don't pick up in the neighborhood. I would bring our stuff over. I've gotten lazy and stopped. Thanks for the reminder, need to get back into recycling. I think if they had a pickup, more people would do it.

ReplyDeleteHey Lisa! High Five to you :) So many people are going to read this and just go about there day unaffected, I'm glad you've taken it as a reminder that we need to care. I get so mad knowing how many people just don't care & are okay with it, not my kinda people. Hope you guys are doing awesome, Aquatica in our future?!
ReplyDeleteMy Aquatica passes are done this month. I actually need to figure out the day. We figure we'll try another water park, but maybe next summer.
