Mini Extreme Recycling: What Are You Doing?
I admit, I am not an extreme recycler. But I am trying to recycle more and encourage others to do the same. It just takes a little creativity.
A few weeks ago, I helped my 9-year-old daughter host a lemonade stand to raise money for her teen-age baby sitter’s annual service trip to Costa Rica. We sold lemonade and home-made rice crispy treats. The recycling angle? We asked everyone to give us back their plastic cup, and I brought them home, rinsed them out, and added them to my recycling pile. So Sara (my daughter’s baby sitter) will head off to Costa Rica to help low-income women and children with a slightly smaller carbon footprint.
