Green Tomorrow

1. Recycle. Minnesota has been a leader in recycling, so this is something we’ve been doing for years. We recycle newspapers, cardboard, cans, bottles, plastics, and glass. Quick tip - rinse or wash your recyclables and you won’t attract bugs.

2. Wash and reuse plastic storage and sandwich bags. It’s not difficult and there’s the added benefit of saving money. It’s been years since I’ve purchased a new box of plastic storage bags.

Most people will look at their future and decide where they wish to live, how to spend their time and how best to afford it. They may even consult financial planners and know what they will do with their time once retired. They usually do not look at their future from the perspective of climate change and global warming and the outcome of an ever-increasing burden on the ecology.

These days we are all being encouraged to recycle more and to find alternative uses for as much of our household waste as we possibly can. What better way to get rid of your rubbish than to find a more ecologically friendly use for it and make some money at the same time.
