WITH AN EMPTY BLUE BOX ON COLLECTION DAY

Just Another Natural Nut
Last week I reached under my kitchen sink to empty my indoor recycling bin into my curbside one for pickup.  To my surprise it was empty.  This was a first and I hope it won't be the last.

I have worked hard to get to this point, finding ways to purchase items with packaging I can reuse and stop purchasing items I cannot.  This is a long way from being excited about having to use more than one blue box to do my part in recycling 15 to 20 years ago.

What changes did I make?

I purchase less canned goods and instead of recycling the ones I do buy, I find other ways to use them after thoroughly cleaning them 

I buy my fruit and vegetable loose whenever I can

I buy in bulk at places I can bring my own containers or can reuse theirs

I don't purchase prepared foods with all of their packaging and I am not a milk or juice drinker so no tetra containers.

I choose glass over plastic containers for condiments

I do not accept junk mail so I rarely receive mail

Now I have to start working on what I put into the garbage for pickup

long before it was cool to be a minimalist, live a sustainable life, become a zero waste warrior we just called it simple living  or what  some could not resist calling us....'those damn hippies....not much has changed in the years since, except the wording...now some can not resist calling us.... 'those damn natural nuts'...hence the name.
