    I am on track thus far. I have a nice "pile" of stuff in my garage that will be going to a local recycling center. I also purchased a collapsible cup for my races thus eliminating excess waste.

      I love the idea of a collapsible cup for races. I hate to see all those cups used at races and think of all the waste that is generated. Much better to go reusable! Kudos!
