recently started recycling instead of throwing everything away. While having a recycling bin in my kitchen isn’t ideal, it’s a daily reminder that I’m taking a step to make the world a better place. After just one week of recycling, I noticed just how many paper products, glass containers, plastic containers and aluminum products I had been throwing away. The bin was about to overflow. I didn’t believe I used that many items that could be recycled. I emptied the bin and within a week, it was full again.
