GIGO Diary of a Recycler: Mar. 2, 2008 Today, the landfill gets less than one hand full from our home! By Barbara Armitage GIGO Diary of a Recycler: Everyday we are going to follow my garbage to see just how close I can come to eliminating my contribution the landfills in America . This is my diary for yesterday, Sunday March 2, 2008. Today was definitely the nicest day weve had so far this year and the good weather affected the amount of trash we produced. I spent most of the day hauling mulch for the new flower garden down at the big barn and by the time I finished I was too tired to do much of anything especially make garbage. Wayne felt sorry for me so he took me out to eat for supper. We dont eat out often but when we do I cant help but think about the fact that restaurants, especially fast-food type restaurants can be huge contributors to landfills. The next time you stop for something to eat on the go please take only the amount of napkins, straws, plastic forks, condiments etc that you will actually use at this meal. FACT:Paper napkins were invented in 1930 and today you will find them in 3 out of 4 households. We each use 2,200 paper napkins a year thats about 6 per person per day. When youre eating at home use cloth napkins that can be laundered and reused when youre eating out take only the paper napkins that you need. Here's what happened to the rest of the day's garbage.Recycle
Only a tiny amount will go into the landfill! Reminder:REMINDER: Recycle 101 to be offered at Adair Extension OfficeEVENTS Barbara Armitage of the Garden Club and Kelli Bonifer of the Adair County Extension Service and and are collaborating to offer Recycle 101 on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 at 10:00amCT.
