Somebody sent me one of those Things**<\/b> about not dumping your emotional garbage on other people, and ended the piece with the line: “Have a wonderful, garbage-free day!”<\/i><\/p>\n
So I got thinking about the physical garbage<\/b> in my life.<\/p>\n
B-R-C and I (used to?) belong to this “outdoor club” and we once had a pot-luck party\/meeting at our house so we could discuss the upcoming canoe season. I realized that we have such an environmentally-friendly house!!<\/p>\n
After they had eaten, people were coming into the kitchen to ask “where is the garbage [can]?”<\/p>\n
I told them “We don’t DO<\/b> ‘garbage’ in this house!”<\/i> Here’s why:<\/p>\n
1. Food scraps and paper napkins go in the GREEN BIN<\/b><\/font> (compost).<\/p>\n 2. Heavy-duty plastic cutlery gets washed for reuse.<\/p>\n 3. Plastic cups, plates, and cutlery that can’t be used again goes into the BLUE BOX<\/b><\/font> (recycling).<\/p>\n What is left to go in the GARBAGE CAN<\/b><\/font>? Practically nothing! (Which, unfortunately, was also the outcome of our meeting with regards to the paddling program! But that is another issue.)<\/p>\n Now if only I could get B-R-C to SORT IT<\/b> properly, I’d be a happy, garbage-free man!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somebody sent me one of those Things** about not dumping your emotional garbage on other people, and ended the piece with the line: “Have a wonderful, garbage-free day!” So I got thinking about the physical garbage in my life.
