Well, here we are nearing the end of 2010. I thought it would be a good time to reflect on the progress of one of my New Year’s Resolutions. No, not the “lose 40 pounds” resolution (we all know how that turned outJ!), but my promise to myself to start a Cox Family recycling program. We were in the midst of moving out of our house when we rang in 2010, so I got a late start to my recycling project, but by mid-April as we were getting all settled in to our new house, it was in full swing. If you have visited me anytime since then, you have already seen my little recycling center in our garage because I probably proudly showed you just after you arrived! But, for those of you who haven’t stopped by, feel free to get inspired by my progress. We are nowhere near making our own compost and growing our own food, but I feel like we are making a step in the right direction to reducing the size of our carbon footprint (I really have no idea what that means, but it sure sounds awesome). Now I just have to get my better half on board. I have actually found myself digging through the garbage can to rescue tin cans and cardboard containers that he has trashed. One step at a time…. J

| This is my storage rack! You can see that I had good intentions of keeping things sorted...and that just didn't work out! I had way more plastic containers than newspaper so I just gave up the sorting! It still works out fine! |

I just thought Steven's Maker's Mark bottle looked cool in the bin...like it was in jail. |
