Re: What can (and can't) go in your recycling bin
True enough!
I'm a HUGE fan of reducing and reusing before recycling... and, yes, even better, avoiding plastics as much as possible (I, too, carry cloth bags with me all the time)! But, honestly, how can one reuse items such as shrink wrap and how many yogurt tubs can you donate to your kids school before they beg you to stop?
I just think it's important that folks know what they *can* recycle, as many assume certain things aren't recyclable so they just toss them without ever knowing that these products can have another life.
It's just information... and information in powerful!
