Some Recycling Answers

I just talked to a very nice gal named Karina at the Sonoma County Eco desk. I told her about our blog and she said if we had any more questions (I assured her we would) we could email her at refkarina@sonoma-county.org or call her directly at 565-3668. Here's what I learned...

* #2 and #4 bags can go to all grocery stores, along with any plastic that has that same feel. Not all plastic is labled, as you know.

* The packages that have cardboard on the back and then a hard plastic over the front- both the plastic and the cardboard can be recycled. I always wondered about that flimsy plastic, if it could be recycled. So that's good to know.

* Tin foil can be recycled. The shiny wrappers that cereal bars, (EnviroKid etc), comes in can't.

* Straws go in the trash

Welcome Visitors!

If you're reading for the first time, it may feel a bit like you've just walked into a conversation that has been going on for awhile.

So to catch you up...

Jennifer started this blog because she was going through the process of becoming more conscious of her lifestyle choices and had decided to "go green". As she talked to her friends she quickly realized that she was not the only one interested in making changes. The blog was born. We used this as a place to discuss things we've tried and to support each other in the journey.
