I told my co-workers to give their soda cans and bottles to me if they didn't recycle. Not only is it good for the environment but I found some recycling machines at a supermarket by work, and I get $0.04 per bottle! It's so fun to feed the machines. The glass one is scary b/c it shatters it when it drops and makes a loud sound. *crash*
I just thought that they'd give me what they have at work, but this morning, one co-worker brought me 2 bags from home. How sweet of her! Then another co-worker said he was going to bring me a bag from home, too.
Judy: Oh my gosh, I feel like a bag lady!
Co-Worker #1: Was that you I saw the other day with a shopping cart at the park?
Co-Worker #2: And I'm sure you had on a cute outfit, right?
They are hilarious and I'm going to be rich!
For some reason I feel like a kid, as if I'm selling lemonade at the street corner or selling fundraising candies from school, and they are supporting me.
I think I'll buy them some desserts at the end of the year from Portos. Yum. That will be nice for all of us to enjoy.

hehe you're so sweet
We are really big on recycling. My mom picks stuff up for us at school. Last year we made over $180 in recycling!
Portos...YUM!!!

judy you are so cute! that was very environmental of you to offer recycling! and so thoughtful and generous to want to buy them dessert too. aw
if i worked with you, i'd bring my bags of recycling too! we have a ton! but we just put it in the recycling box and let the garbage man haul it off.
They only give you $.04 for the bottles?? That's a rip-off! It should be $.05!
Recycling is a great way to make some money and helpful to the environment too. Most people are just too lazy to do it. Sometimes when we're lazy, we give our extras to the homeless guy who comes around the night before recycling day and let him pick them up for us.
i find your entries entertaining. maybe i can earn a free soda (65cents) a week if i can just collect enough cans, bottles, etc...
Recycling is great for extra lunch money!!
Sadly in our neighborhood, we have a blue recycling trash can that the trash collectors use to pick up all our recyclables (newspapers, plastics, aluminum cans) every week, so we have gotten very lazy about separating out our bottles and going to hand-dump them (and hence missing out on hand-collecting our mula). But you inspire me to put in the extra effort again!
mmmm. portos.
i heart portos.
whenever there are get-togethers, i'm just eyeing the aluminum cans... wanna take 'em all home!
we still on for tomorrow night? and yes u r gonna be rich! my mom brings home like $20 a trip! hehehehe.
that's great that you do that! we're too lazy to hold on to our recycling stuff, we just have bins at our complex. but i do see non residents digging in there sometimes.... was that you the other day!? haha
Yeah, recycling is good! I think it's fantastic that you're helping out the environment! I wish we had recycling machines nearby, I'd use it!
shouldn't it be .05 cents instead? aiyah!
