Do you re-cycle?

I only recycle aluminum cans. I watched something that did studies on recycling and found that the only resourceful thing to recycle was aluminum. They found that recycling plastic, glass, ect was actually exerting more energy and using more natural resources than making the product new. And paper - they actually have tree farms where trees are specially grown to make paper from. That they aren't cutting down just any old trees for it. And in turn these tree farms help our environment too. Especially considering how much of our forests are being cut down to build highways and subdivisions. It's a sad, sad world...

We have curbside recycling so everything that can be recycled goes into a bag that I put out with the garbage every week. Believe me, my weekly garbage is a grocery sack and my recyclables are 40 gallon bags and sometimes I have 2 to put out every week. I do save my aluminum cans and metal cans to recycle for money and take them in twice a year to a recycle center. I usually walk away with $200 in my pocket from them. I sometimes save the newspapers for the local animal control and have become one of their main sources for newpspers. IF they don't happen to need them when I'm ready to get rid of em, I take them to the Lion's club since they get money for the trailer loads of papers that the whole town gives them. All my kitchen waste gets buried in the garden or flower beds or I put them in my compost pile. I use a mulcher mower to mow my lawn so I never have to use chemical fertilizers. Same with my garden and flower beds. I'm strictly organic gardener here.
