Recycle and Reclaim that ole book

Trumpet Vines

Paper and Threads has a good demonstration of how to take an ole book and make it a journal here.

Earth Day Adventure

Finally, oh joyous day, I found a recycle center that will take: cardboard, magazines, all plastics, tins, metal, electronics, and garbage. It is only open two days a week, Wednesday & Saturday, but is also about 15 miles closer to home.

I made it my primary task to get there as quickly as possible today in honour of Earth Day and Freedom Day (my freedom of junk).

MS will also come over soon and flatten out the burning barrels that were destroyed by the inclement winter weather and clear up that ugly corner in the yard.

Yippee!

Spoiled Recycler

One tiny problem with living far away from a town or city is how, where and when to recycle.

My ecological daughter came close to chiding me on her visit that I didn't have all the trash sorted. She had some good suggestions, and my neighbour, Jo-Ann, told me that on the second Saturday of each month our local Community Center will take many recyclable items.

I called them and yes they will even take broken appliances (of which I have several). So on my calendar

"is toss recyclables into car by 9am; drive to Conklin Hill Road and recycle."

But this little envelope book that I discovered on Diana's blog captured my attention and fancy as so much of my recyclables are paper--masses of paper, all the junk mail, and all the good things that can come in envelopes.
