I'm very passionate about my thoughts on accountability when it comes to sustainability. And I live by this.
To me it is this simple.
If you purchase something, you are now the responsible party that when you are through with it that it is disposed of correctly. I'm talking about the day to day items in our lives. When you are finished with the dish soap, rinse out the bottle and recycle. You know that roll in the center of the toilet paper - that is recyclable too. How about those old pair of jeans - they recycle too. Aluminum foil - it can be recycled infinite times, rinse it off and toss it in with the recyclables. I could go on and on.
Nothing gets me going faster then to see a recycling container sitting directly beside a trash can and the trash can is filled with items that should be in the recycling container. Why does this happen? Is it laziness? Is it because people need to be educated on what is and what is not recyclable?
I'm going to offer this for anyone in the Pittsburgh area. If you are unsure of what is recyclable, email me and I will help you by either locating a guide (City of Pittsburgh has a nice one that lists the recycling basics).

No cost to you - my only payment is that you will learn what to do with "that" item(s) in the future.
I care about this planet, my family, for your family, and for all the children yet to come. Please won't you join me in taking these little steps of recycling.
