Green Tid Bit Tuesday

Green Tid Bit: Did you know that every ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees? Paper makes up more than half of our landfills. That's a lot!!! Most of the time we throw it away because there is not a convenient recycle bin available. It's worth a try moving the recycle bin next to the trash can to see if there's a decrease in the amount of total waste when it's your actual "trash" day. I'm going to try it :-)

I'm so grateful to live in a neighborhood full of trees! I look forward to every spring, summer and fall when they change colors. On a beautiful day a few weeks ago, the trees were in full bloom and it was breathtaking. The wind was blowing and the white petals from the Bradford Pear trees were falling like snow. I was very lucky to have my lovely neighbor model for me...Thanks, Micaela!
