Recycling For The New Year

One of our family's new year goals was to recycle more. We started with the newspaper a few months ago, but our county offers recycling for aluminum and plastic too. So we bought new bins for the garage and are recycling all three. It is amazing what we have been throwing away instead of recycling! The amount of plastics we use is astounding, from milk cartons, juice bottles, soda bottles, and water bottles. We are proud of our efforts and know we are now doing our part. The kids can even help to sort since the bins are easily accessible to each of them. It is a great goal for the new year and one we will stick with forever. It is amazing how buying some $7 bins can make such a difference in a household habit!

We are also making an effort to use less, like reusable grocery bags and less water bottles. Some things are hard to cut out, but over time, we should be successful!
