What are you going to do to help the Earth?

Recycling is always a good way to help the earth. The problem with where I live in NC they don't pick up recycling, I think this attests to many people not recycling. I don't know how many people are aware of the recycling areas at their local Solid Waste Facilities in the counties. At our local "dump" we are able to recycle: aluminum, steal, plastic, paper, cardboard, oil, appliances, clothing, wood, cell phones, batteries and plastic bags from stores to name a few. They also show how to make a compost pile. We recently have made a compost pile on our property. I just couldn't throw lettuce, peelings, egg shells, coffee grounds and other natural food products into a plastic bag any more, it just didn't feel right.

So what are you doing for Earth day this year? Leave a comment.
