Reflection QuestionAt Home Switch to Reusable Napkins and TowelsIs there anything you like more about using cloth and towels napkins than paper napkins and towels? If not, how do you stick to the habit?
Marie Listopad 6/02/2020 9:30 AMI enjoy how soft my cloth towels and napkins are. They are also more absorbent than paper. I have some that were made for me and that feels very nice. -
Reflection QuestionAt Home Start Organics RecyclingWhat kind of organics recycling did you start and how is it going for your household?
Marie Listopad 6/02/2020 9:26 AMI have an organics recycling bucket in the kitchen. All kitchen scraps which cannot be used are placed there. I make certain that teabags have the staples taken off. I try to use as much of a vegetable as possible before I recycle. I also have a stash of biodegradable bags. -
Reflection QuestionAt Home No More Wish-cyclingWhat have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?
Marie Listopad 6/02/2020 9:22 AMPlastics are the most difficult for me. Now that I have seen all the different policies of various waste management companies, I will still only recycle #1 plastic. -
Reflection QuestionAt Home Recycle Paper, Cardboard, Plastic, Metal and GlassWhat motivates you the most to recycle: protecting the environment, future generations, creating jobs in the recycling industry, because your neighbors do it, or some other reason?
Marie Listopad 6/02/2020 9:08 AMMostly I want to protect the environment. Creating jobs and helping future generations are excellent benefits. I am concerned that some recyclables, plastics, are not getting reused properly.
