I remember one Mother’s Day when I was a child asking when was kid’s day to which my father replied that everyday was Kid’s Day. Well, that’s how I feel about Earth Day. Earth Day is everyday. It’s where we live and we should strive each day to do something nice for Mother Earth.
For Earth Day, I’m taking all of our plastic bottles for recycling. They have been piling up – so it’s time to drop them off.
Plastic bottles are not the only items we recycle. We recycle cans and Capri Sun wrappers. In fact, a lot of schools collect Capri Sun wrappers to turn in for cash for their school. Each wrapper is worth 2 cents but my kid alone – the way she drinks those things – could be worth an extra $50-$100 to a tight school budget.
This summer we should have a nice load of aluminum cans for recycling. It’ll be nice to get some extra pocket change for those cans, too.
Ever since we started recycling our plastic, we have less garbage each week. This makes me very happy to know we are sending less to the landfill and using less garbage bags.
Recycling is a great thing to do. Its so much better to recycle items so that they can be made into something else rather than just throwing them away. I’m all for it!
It’s not matter how big or small our way of recycling products is. what matters most is that we help prevent filing more garbage and pollution to our community. And the good thing also is, recycling earns us money.
If we got money for our bottles over here I would get my children to collect them for pocket money.Not that lucky though. We just throw them in the recyle bin which gets empty once a fortnight!
I am also all for making the earth cleaner, recycling and re using…have a lot of recycled items at home..
thanks for sharing this info. we need to help our mother earth to save our nature, we need to stop burning of plastics and other toxic materials to protect our ozone layer.
Not sure if you know, but a large majority of greenhouse gases are created by humans using unneeded perishables like cigarettes. Switching to Electornic Cigarettes will help bring this down, prevent ozone destruction aswell as saving you a fortune
