wow that amazing, and believe it or not, I clean parking lots for my main income right now, and the amount of plastic bottles that I throw away is amazing. If I could I could get over 50 plastics bottles a week, but its too much of a hassle because of time restraints.

That is very inspiring! I guess it goes to show what you can do if you put your mind to it!

Isn't that fantastic! On that same site, there is a link of ways to "help" through various kinds of recycling. An interesting one was donating old sneakers whose rubber parts will be ground up to make cushiony rubber mats to be donated to kid's gyms.

That is wonderful. 30 years is quite a committment. Just goes to show that pennies add to dollars that add to enough dollars to buy something big.
