So i was wondering how many people actual recycle....and do you recycle everything or do you sometimes throw some things out so you dont have to wash then ect. Personally i am a little relaxed i will through out something such as tinfoil if I have cooked with it, i dont really want to be standing at the kitchen sink washing tinfoil, just so i can throw it into the recycling bin. But other then that I absoltely recycle, so does my hubby and son. We have made him very aware of recycling and why we should do it from the time he was very young. He even for the most part knows which bin things belong in! SO do you recycle...do your kids recycle?

I do recycle and for me it is very easy. No sorting of the items is necessary so I can recycle anything the giant dumpster bins will take at the Home Depot right across the street. They will take anything, such as paper, carboard, glass, cans, plastic. I keep giant black plastic bags to store all kinds of recyclable things in at my home, than just drive them down to the bins whenever I go out. It is a very convenient way of recycling. I do not know if I would spend the time to sort my recycling like some people do.

Here in my country we often go to the night market to buy ready cooked food. The food is packed into plastic containers. Types of food sold in these containers are such as porridge, noodles, cakes, etc. Every time when we buy the food I never throw out the container because it is very useful. It can be put into the microwave to reheat leftover food from last night. I also use it it store food in my fridge. I usually put sweetened condensed milk, blended dried chilli, gravy, leftover rice, puddings, cakes and many types of food. The container make the food last longer and doesn't absord the smell from other food. It also prevents the smell of strong aroma food like durians to leak out and overpowering the whole fridge compartment. So, as a conclusion, I do recycle because it is convenient and cost saving.
