Recycle Plastics


** the word TRASH is spelled with golf balls.


I want to be more pro-active with recycling. Recently there was another study out about the quality of bottled water and showed in some states that the drinkingwater tested perfectly safe and the high priced bottled water was coming from a tap source - not a pure spring. One idea I have is to use the old plastic bottles (cleaned) and refilled with tap and kept on hand for use. This would help stop the constant pollution from plastic water bottles in land fills and floating around in the oceans.
Just think about where all this plastic stuff goes?! or where that plastic packaging ends up? It's so easy to just throw these items in the trash. But what about the journey that plastic item takes around the world, where does it end up (it doesn't disappear it will NEVER go away). Start thinking of it and maybe find a way to recycle in your home. Start helping make a difference.



If you've ever walked the beaches after a storm, you can see the remnants of our throw it away society. Bits of plastic debris litter the shore: Bottle caps, toys, cigarette lighters, fishing line and other plastic garbage. Scientists are now documenting this surge of plastic trash that leaves a wake of death and disease that directly affects seabirds.

In many areas of the globe, birds inadvertently feed on plastic floating on the water, mistaking it for food, and many times this ingestion leads to death and even the death of their young.
