    Bought more today than what would fit in my reusable shopping bag. So, loaded the overflow into a store cart and transported my purchases to my car. Avoided taking a store bag which I really didn't need.

    Took a large load of items from home to St.Vinnie's today. A great place for repurposing, reusing and recycling!

    While cleaning the garage, found some slightly rusty canning rings and canning lids. No good for home canning, but I will take them to MECCA. Someone could use them for a craft project or in an artistic creation.

    Finished collecting the hazardous materials that had collected in our garage over many years. Called and got an appointment to turn them in on Saturday morning. I'm glad our county offers hazardous waste collection for free. The environment will benefit by keeping our hazardous waste out of the landfill.

    Cleaned out all the leftover toxic chemicals in our garage. Will take them to the hazardous waste disposal for our county. Have been wanting to do that for a long time. Eco Challenge was a good motivator to complete this project!

    Becoming more aware of how many people making small, positive recycling actions can add up to protecting our environment.
