    Day 15: a cool Fall day here in NJ; was able to complete 1 of my 2 daily challenges.  Couldn't hang outdoors for 30+ minutes due to having a medical procedure today.  I will make up for it in the coming days. Farewell 2016 EcoChallenge, hello EcoLifestyle continued! Thank you Louisa & team NJDEP EcoLogicals!!!

    Tomorrow we are running our monthly recycling collection at the Pennington Farmers Market.  We collect #5 Plastic, styrofoam egg cartons, wine corks, dental care products, plastic bags & film, and CDs/DVDs.  None of these items are allowed in curbside recycling in Mercer County. All materials are taken to companies for recycling, often...
