Today's winner: The environment! We made no trash!
Mood: Happy!
Business to Support: Whole Foods
Why am I so happy?
#1--We made no trash. I mean, my apple sticker was nowhere to be found (sometimes I accidentally eat it because I forget to take it off). And I am convinced that the foil lid from my yogurt is recyclable if I can only find the right facility. So there is a pile of foil in the kitchen. But it will not count as trash until I actually throw it away.
#2--the plastic lids on all of my vitamins and medicines are made out of plastic 5--which we already determined could be recycled at Whole Foods!!! Actually, most bottle caps are made out of plastic 5. So don't throw them away! And the Whole Foods recycling thing is totally legit. Go here to find out more. Then do your part and recycle your plastic 5!

If you pick through sometimes there's an apple with no sticker! Also I'm surprised foil is no longer recyclable. It used to be on the list as long as you rinsed it clean but I guess nobody rinses foil clean so it was easier to take it off the list.
We discovered we can take it to the center--it just doesn't get picked up curbside....probably, as you said, because no one was washing it.
