recycling: Oyster Shell Recycling Project, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL - 01/27/13 04:18 AM
I love reading about recyling, so this naturally caught my eye: oyster shelly recycling!
I've seen my friends on Nantucket reuse clam shells by running them through the dishwasher for more clams casino, but this is a slightly different type of recycling.
This project can help protect our beaches from erosion, safeguard archaeological sites, and keep those shells from the garbage dump. How cool!

recycling: Red Solo Cup! You P*** Me Off! - 03/27/12 01:21 AM
Now, why would I be ranting not only about an awesome party song, as well as a veritable icon of recreational fun?
Because a visitor to my neighbor's house (you may recall I live on an itsy bitsy 3 home cul-de-sac, so I can Gladys Kravits easily) attempted to put several Red Solo Cups in my recycling bin this AM.
What's the beef? He's recycling you say.
RED SOLO CUPS CAN ONLY BE RECYCLED BY WASHING AND REUSING.
Yes, they are a #6 plastic, which is not a recyclable plastic. Only 1-3, and under special circumstances are 4&5 recyclable in most … (19 comments)

recycling: Helpful Recycling Information - 08/01/10 11:07 PM
I have always been raised to recycle - my mother recycled 30+ years ago in New Jersey, when we had to drive the magazines/newspapers, aluminum, and glass to the recycling center one town over.  We actually rinsed the aluminum foil before recycling it!
