But what surprised me was how many people don't know about recycling. Let me explain:
In the article I read it said that our town is one of the first towns to take all plastic recyclables with the numbers 1-7. Whoo-Hoo for me! I thought they only took numbers 1,2 and 6. 1-7 this is HUGE!! That means I can throw the yogurt, sour cream and cool whip containers etc. in the blue bin! I always felt bad about putting them in the trash. (they are a #5)

image from 3reef.comI was so excited about this new found information I was sharing it with whoever I would talk to. (Cause I'm annoying like that).
And to my surprise I got blank stares.
"What? There are numbers on the bottom of plastic?"
They would say?
So my question to you is:
Am I weird that I know a random fact like:
There are specific numbers on the bottom of
plastic containers that tell us if we can recycle or not?

I mean I fully admit I am weird. Normal is Boring my Mother always would say. But maybe I'm a little earth friendly weird? I do like our planet. And plants, (I LOVE plants) and clean water. I did grow up in California the capitol of Earth Friendly. I want solar panels and a solar hot water heater, and I don't buy water bottles, I reuse my sippy and take it everywhere I go. ghast! I am an earth friendly girl. Who knew?
I guess I will just have to share some earth friendly info on this post. Like the numbers on the bottom of all plastics. Check with your town. Find out which plastics they take. Maybe your town is like mine and will take all numbers 1-7. That way you could have more room in the black garbage can (which can fill up so fast!)
