Happy Earth Day! Celebrate by doing your part!

Are you celebrating Earth Day by doing your part?

Here's one little example I do to help keep the Earth a little Greener.

The city that I live in doesn't provide recycle bins that they pick up at your house.

So I got this big green bin to help me out.

It itself is made of recycled material.

I get lots of newspapers for my coupons and they pile up quick. (Even just recycling junk mail and other papers you'd be surprised how much you get!)

Once a month I take a huge load to my city building for recycling.

I used to use this...

Not as cute.

I needed something larger (and cuter).

Large enough to fit a lot of papers, and small enough to fit in the backseat of my car.

And added some vinyl for a label like I always do.

Doesn't the green color just screams RECYCLE!


I think I'll do it to these two bins as well...

A red bin for RECYCLE {plastic}

and a

blue bin for RECYCLE {glass}

Then they'll be cute and colorful together!

However I don't think I need these as large so I'll do these in smaller bins.
