Spring Cleaning
Cleaning out my closet today and I realized .... I have entirely to much crap!! Dear Lord! Good opportunity though. I am collecting some items I will never use to sell at my mom's next garage sale. I am refinding (made up word?) and re enjoying clothes and Items I forgot I had. Have you ever done this... You can't find something and it annoys you so you just buy another one? Well, apparently so do I and I need to stop. Why do I have six dog leashes for two dogs who live mostly in our fenced in yard? Why do I have so many tank tops? I used to work at a company where we wore a uniform everyday and I live in Illinois where there is only 6-8 weeks of Summer...
Anyhoo, other ways this was a good learning experience - I found an old curling iron and it doesn't work. So according to my be more conscious vow I looked around and found this handy article from Earth911. We actually scrap a lot because of Steve's job and I am looking forward to getting rid of this in a more efficient way. More to come on my adventures in cleaning!!

Is burning garbage green? In Sweden, there’s little debate | Midwest Energy News
Not only could we be destroying our garbage in a way that produces energy as has been proved by the Swedes and thankfully they have so kindly done the research for us, but we could also be selling some of our garbage to them instead of shipping huge containers of it back to different places to be resold to us in unhealthy ways...

What Happens to All That Plastic? – State of the Planet
Why aren't we utilizing the most available resource we currently have... our waste??!! We will never stop producing waste and at the rate we are growing and using our natural non renewable resources, we need to start getting creative and using what is available to us to provide us with energy in as healthy a way as possible. We should be re-using all of this... Sad. This is literally money and energy being thrown in the trash...
