Here in Chicago (a city named the third greenest city in the U.S.), we have a pretty sucky recycling program. The 'burbs have the city beat by far. That's why we have to keep writing letters and (semi-nicely) harassing the higher-ups to get off their asses and get with the times. <BR/><BR/>An FYI for those of you who don't recycle because your city doesn't have a program, there are recycling centers EVERYWHERE (not only big recycling centers, but also recycle "dumpsters" in the parking lots of major grocery stores, etc.), so no excuses, kids. Here's a little guilt trip for you - The next time you throw an empty beer bottle or plastic container in the trash, think about the fact that wildlife sometimes mistakes trash for food. Then envision Bambi choking on your yogurt container. Bet that makes you rethink throwing away perfectly recycable items, hmmmmmmmmm?<BR/><BR/>xoxoMelissa at bubbyandbean.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529482206467186418noreply@blogger.com
