Follow the Chasing Arrows

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 20 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.

Embrace Imperfection

    I have learned so much about recycling (period). It's a lifestyle change!! Little by little. It makes me think of the slogan, "What's your one thing?" There is more than one way to recycle.
