Linda, we have been recycling for about 21 years.  Here are some ways we do it:

We separate paper products to burn in our burn barrel (not legal in most cases) we live in country.

We pack all our other paper products - magazines, newspapers and books into paper bags and take to recycle.

We separate all other trash items (not burnable) and send to landfill.  At present we do not have a way of separating glass & plastic for this.

All of our vegetable trimmings and coffee grounds go into our compost.

Leftover food usually is consumed by Molly!!  Otherwise it is left out for the wild animals or put in compost.

We keep houseplants inside during winter but most are moved outside during warm weather.  We plant flowers, vegetables, and trees.

Mainly we get our exercise from working outside in our gardens.  Also, housecleaning will give you a great workout!

Thanks Linda for the forum.

SAVOR THE MOMENT. I believe it was the great John Lennon who said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." Think about it, how true is this? Many times we are having a great time with friends or family but we are hardly even recognizing it because we are thinking about what we have to do tomorrow. Learn to take each moment by itself and enjoy it!

Recycle and reduce Use !
