Three simple rule that are very hard to follow. As a mother of three small children I know how difficult it is to recycle. Throwing EVERYTHING in a trash bag is a lot easier. After I watch the video of the Johnson Family decide this was my time to get serious. With all that is going on in world I look at the things that I have and feel selfish. We need to do something now so our children have a future.
Today was starting day. I found a old trash can in our garage and place it by our door for recyclable. I went through all of my children's toys and took out a big lot for donations. A lot of times I keep a toy, clothes, cooking stuff around because I am hoping some day we will use it. My new rule is if it hasn't been used in six months it's gone. Either to be donated, recycled or reuse in someway. I found a couple of my husbands old dress shirts and made a necklace and a scarf out of them. T-shirts I cut up and use them as cheese cloth to drain my yogurt when I am making greek yogurt. Now that my wheels are turning the possibilities are endless. Tomorrow my goal is to continue through the house find things we don't need or use. Why buy more bins when you could sell, donate or recycle what you have.
