It's been ages since I've written. But I'm proud to report that I've been recycling the wine bottles, milk cartons and orange juice containers from work.
Now I currently work in a restaurant where for the first three months I was secretly stashing the recyclables so that they wouldn't be thrown in the trash. Apparently I wasn't being that sneaky because eventually my boss asked me about it and instead of me lying because who really rummages through the trash for recyclables? I just owned it; told them I like recycling and since I drive right by the drop site coming home from work it's no big effort for me to stop and drop it off. My next shift, my boss had a pile of glass bottles for me to recycle.
I know that once I leave, which will be soon, that the bottles will be going into the trash again. But I still consider this a win because I made the effort and 5 months worth of recyclables didn't go into a landfill. A small win, but a win nonetheless.
