Recycling..It's not just about being green!

I believe in recycling. I believe that we have a mandate to preserve our natural resources and one way of doing that is through recycling. Much of our waste can be recycled. Such solid waste as metal cans, glass, and plastics as well as such liquids as cooking oil can be recycled. It is a well known fact that aluminum can be produced less expensively from recycled aluminum cans than from raw material. Plastic soda bottles can be reprocessed into polyester yarn. Indeed a well known manufactures, Patagonia, now uses polyester fleece from recycled water bottles in the manufacture of some garments. My youngest son uses reprocessed cooking oil from fast food restaurants for fuel for his RV. Currently recycling programs are considered too expensive, but I believe that Berkeley County can have a viable recycling program.

Can you put a price on doing the right thing?

From the book...

Heard a good book lately?

Everyone enjoys a good book. And we love to share our favorites. We let our friends read our favorites and then we discuss them. But have you ever shared a book simultaneously. You know, like reading the same passage at the same time. that is kind of difficult and brings to mind all sorts of images of bodily contortions. But you can enjoy the same passage if you listen to it. I a referring to audio books of course. We frequently listen to books while driving. Our favorites are mystery novels. During the listening we can pause the compact disc and talk about the events described and maybe guess the final outcome of the book. I suppose you could call this active listening. Listen to a book on your nest long drive and share it as you listen!
