I consider myself an environmentalist. In college I actively fought for the enviornment, and I am always consious of the effect my choices make on the earth. Lately, however, I've noticed myself slipping back into bad habits - many of them I kicked in the 6th grade when I was first introduced to Earth Day and ecology - and turning in to a big ugly hypocrite. For example, Panda and I have not been recycling for the last few months. I could give excuses as to why we aren't, but really there is no excuse; there is only lazyness. Extreme laziness and apathy for the world around me. It's not cool. Not at all. So, things are going to change around here - step one:
we are a recyling household once again! There is a recycling center down the street from me - it's on my way to class, so Wednesdays will be my recycling day for the next 8 weeks (it will switch as my school schedule does). If anyone who lives near me wants to give me their recycling on Tuesday evenings, I will drop it off at the recycling center.
I came upon this website today named
Earth 911. If you put in your zip code it will tell you about what recycling is available near you as well as other important information such as when/where to dispose of hazadous waste. The website also offers a ton of infromation about decreasing air & water pollution, preserving energy & water, and much much more. I encourage each of you to check it out.

So you're NOT supposed to pour hazadous materials into the sewer? I wish someone would have told me that last week.
oh fishfrog, don't you know that "only rain in the storm drain!"
