Save-the-planet Bets

Didn't exercise today.  Still not Monday yet though :)  I actually am looking forward to this diet a little.  I'm tired of feeling fat so at least I'll feel like I'm trying to do something about it.  Plus, I like most of the foods I get to make meals from.  Mmmm peanut butter and banana.  Anyway, Monday is quickly approaching, almost diet time.

In addition to trying to better myself by losing weight I am also trying to increase my efforts to save the planet.  I got a composter for my birthday.  I'm going to name it Enzo.  Today I got a little canister to keep on the counter during the day so I can put my compostable (is that a word?) materials in it and take them out to Enzo after dinner.  Maybe I will name it Enzino, "little Enzo."  I am very excited about this since it should reduce the amount of waste I send out with the trash on Fridays.  Yay save the planet!

I was inspired to get Enzo because of my wonderful new huge recycling bin, provided to me by the city to be used for every-other-week curbside pickup.  I love this recycle bin but recently realized that I cannot recycle any plastics other than 1 and 2.  I have lots of plastics rolling through my kitchen that are not 1 or 2.  Happily, today I discovered that there is a place in town that takes ALL SEVEN plastics.  So I will be getting bins for numbers 3-7 for my garage and my save-the-planet efforts will continue.

Here is a picture of Enzo:

  1. Please tell me where I can recycle all plastics because only recycling 1&2 truly bugs me. I am also very jealous of Enzo since I have been saying that I want to start composting for at least a year now. Maybe Nathan will feel bad that y'all are doing a better job of saving the planet than us. Maybe you should also talk up that less trash thing because I know he hates taking the trash out. ha!
