New for this week

I learned that in the summer it is best to fill the gas tank during cooler evening hours to cut down on evaporation – good to know and something I plan to do when the weather gets warmer.

I have started adding my aluminum foil to my aluminum cans to recycle. I have had three bags I keep in the kitchen; one for aluminum, one for milk jugs, and one for other plastice drink containers.

I normally rip up and throw away quite a bit of junk mail, but I have started a 4th bag for recycling paper stuff, and I'm going to start another one for cardboard like cereral boxes and stuff, along with a small box for used batteries.

Looks like I'll need the whole family to go with me to the recycling center in Orem next week to haul it all in. I really do feel good about my efforts and wish that more people would get involved in doing the same.

I got an e-mail from a co-worker asking me where she could take some hazardous waste, so I think my friends, co-workers and family are at least using me as a resource, and hopefully I will have planted some seeds in their consciences to be more aware and do some things differently.
