Day 12, 13 and 14: Smooshed Tomato

Must-see Website: earth911.com learn! learn! learn!
Must-do Website: https://www.dmachoice.org/  get off of junk mailing lists.  Be sure to follow the link to opt out of credit card offers as well.

Today, I need to play "catch up" (smooshed tomato=ketchup=catch up-- get it? get it? )

Saturday, we rediscovered earth911.com.  It really is the best jumping off point for anyone who wants to make an eco-difference.  For us, it helped us where to recycle lots of additional things.  All of my non-can aluminum is recyclable.  I just need to take it to a center.

We also went out to Maggiano's and totally forgot our own take-out containers.  Luckily, the container was aluminum pie plate material, but the half cardstock, half foil lids are not.  (and they also give you a pasta to take home if you order a classic pasta and that was is plastic 5 so we are safe there)

Sunday, Bret got us both off all the junk mailing lists he could and signed us up for paperless billing on all accounts.  We have agreed to count the plastic windows in the envelopes we get in the mail as trash against us--because it does end up in a landfill.  (When paper is recycled, these windows are discarded).  But no trash for either of us on Sunday.

 Monday, I got a WaWa breakfast sandwich.  I purposely went to WaWa because they wrap their stuff in butcher paper-- totally compostable (not recyclable because it is food contaminated)  However, my sandwich maker put a little plastic sheet around half of my hoagie.  Bret started his new job and ate a int after lunch to not offend the people he wwas meeting.  A was given a York Peppermint Patty by our server at dinner.  I couldn't be rude, so we accepted the trash.
