We can put all the things that are recycleable all in the same bin on the side of the road. Doesn't even have to be the standard "blue bin" just has to have the sticker "we recycle" on the it somewhere. But the apartments out here aren't even close to recycling, one I lived in didn't have a recycling program at all. The one thing I really wish is the diaper companies would come out with a diaper that is at least part recycleable, cloth diapers aren't the best solution. Oh and Safeway STILL using Styrofoam for their eggs......why for I ask?? Should be cardboard. As a kid I remember going to Mc Donalds and all the food came in Styrofoam.

We usually fill the recycling bin more than the other one, but it only gets collected every two weeks. It does feel good to recycle stuff and save power. I still forget about the unplugging but after reading this I went and turned off the tv and all that in the lounge and turned it off at the plug as well. Cheers!

What they cant use (which is alot) is buried in landfills which is pretty funny to me. To think of all that nicely seperated garbage rotting away in landfills. As far as conserving electricity goes its hard to take serius when my neighbors houses at Christmas look like landing runways and that Las Vegas exists.

It may not be a lot, but it does add up. I was reading recently that the power used from these appliances ends up making up 5% of the electricity bill for the average American home. It may not be 5% for Corinna, but every little bit helps. That's my point =D Most things that people always have plugged in are things that constantly consume power.
