1. What You Don't Know About Recycling

I just got back from Orlando this morning and surprisingly
it's been cooler there than it is here right now. But I am
glad to be home. Today is May 9. I turn 30 exactly one
month from today. I can't believe it. It feels like a
major milestone. What ideas do you guys have for
celebrating? Send them to me. :-)

Today I want to send you some little tips and info about
recycling that I received from a daily newsletter sent
out by Ideal Bite. Ideal Bite provides information on
ways you can live more eco-friendly.

www.idealbite.com

Some of this info you might know already, but some of it
might be new and may save you time in recycling. For
instance, I didn't know that you didn't have to rinse
your recyclables before placing them in the container.

Enjoy!

General

Earth911 - local listings of where you can recycle
anything under the sun.

You don't need to remove labels from cans and
bottles, but you do need to remove plastic caps (and
throw them away).

Your recyclables don't need to be spotless - just not
moldy or full of food. Save water - don't rinse 'til clean.

Glass

Unbroken bottles are easier for workers to sort than
broken ones.

Metal

Most containers, such as tins and cans, and aluminum
foil.

Paper

Newspapers, magazines, photocopies, shoe boxes,
envelopes (including ones with glassine windows).

Plastic

Plastics #1-#2 – recyclable in most areas. Usually
found in 2-liter and detergent bottles, milk jugs and
food containers.

Plastics #3-#7 – more difficult to recycle, they are
found in Styrofoam, pipes, shrink wrap, padded
envelopes, trash liners and more. Check with your
local facility to see if it recycles these plastics.

Yogurt Cups - recyclable in most areas, especially the
#2 plastic kind.

Grocery Bags - reuse them first! You usually can't
recycle them curbside, but some supermarkets have
recycling bins in-store. Try to avoid them altogether by
bringing your own Biter bag to the store.
newsletters.

On another note, tell me.. What one thing in your life do
you wish was different?

I may be addressing some of these things in future
newsletters or services that I offer.

Within the past few months I have made huge lifestyle
changes. I take time to listen to what my body needs.
My cravings for artificial sweeteners and processed foods
have diminished. I cook with all whole foods and feel
stronger, more alert, vibrant, and healthy. I have a
renewed passion for life and sense of well-being. I am
overcoming my eating disorder, exploring my spirituality,
and discovering new possibilities for a gratifying career
path. I treasure our relationship. Thank you so much for
your support.
