Reorienting Environmentalism about 10 minutes
Sometimes I feel so frustrated when I see a person casually drop a water bottle or other recycleable item into a trash can, even if there is a recycle bin nearby. I think that no matter how many corrugated boxes I reuse, there are still so many tons of recycleable material going to landfills or just scattered across the landscape.... In the meantime, keep recycling!
