CBC highlights MY Change ... by someone else
Will I reach my goal to be garbage free? enough to be on national tv? Well, one couple in Toronto is doing it by being in G&M, CBC Gill Deacon Show and CBC The Hour ... that I've seen. Their blog discusses many of the same issues I'm going through. Although I haven't resolved many of them for myself YET, at least I know I'm on the right track. I'm not going to extreme of avoiding recyclable items like her, but I am shopping around, buying bulk, avoiding [some] items with non-recyclable packaging, doing without some things, preparing my work lunches instead of eating out, and of course reusing bags.
Did anybody else see either of these shows? Did it inspire you to join me on this quest?
While milk containers are now recyclable in Vancouver (see encorp.ca), although not in household pickups, I have gotten in the habit of not needing milk, so will continue to do without .. except for certain requirements. BUt I hope to provide a means that people in my apartment building will collect their milk containers to take to an Encorp Recycle depot ... even if I have to do it myself ... on my bike.
Happy recycling ...
