This is not something that is done where I work. But at home, I do recycle cans, not necessarily to be environmentally friendly, but if I throw a can away, to me, that's like throwing money in the trash. So when I get so many, I take them to the nearest recycling center.

I also reuse the plastic bags you get from the grocery store to line my little trashcans around the house with. It just makes sense. Why be wasteful when you don't have to?

Personally, I never do this, but I have heard where a lot of people will use leaves for mulch in their soil for their gardening. And I have actually heard that the effects are pretty good. Also good to leave a few on your lawn to help keep the moisture in. That way, when springtime comes along, the grass won't look so brown. Sounds like maybe I ought to give it a try.

"Hey, Ole. Don't throw that plastic bottle into the wastebasket. Take it home, have Lena put it in the dishwasher, and then put it in the plastic recycle container."

"What's that, Ole?"

"Well blow it out of yours too, and I hope it aggravates your hemorrhoids!"

I don't even want to think about this. Bending over to pick up the soap might lead to untoward events.

I would as soon install Stormi stripping.

If I did this, I would have to use my sleeve, and then I would have to wash my clothes in at a higher temperature with an overall loss in the big picture.

It's probably not politically correct but would tend to control the population in some areas. I heard that Barack Hussein got wind of this and is appointing a cannibalism czar.

I have a better idea. Don't mow your lawn.

I am for doing this not because it is an easy way to go green, but because I have the same problem with giving my money away to the electric company as I do with giving it to the government. My money is better off in my pocket- it gets spent more wisely and it feels more comfortable, as if it is among friends.
