I am going to have to watch my step, I am becoming so green that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might recruit me as a “Squad Member” – and it don’t get no greener than that. She wants to ban cows because they ‘toot’ and create methane gas
However, I recently started recycling plastic bags, not the brown ones like you get at the grocery store, but bread bags – they are actually stronger. They have all sorts of uses, just tie the ends and they’re secure. You can wipe a frying pan with a paper towel and stick the greasy towels and extra grease from the pan in a bread a bag and you’re good to go. No fuss, no mess. I am putting all my broken eggshells in these bags to use later in my garden. That’s green, too.
I am even recycling Aldi’s meat containers.
Aldi’s packs their meats and hamburger in heavy-duty black plastic containers. They typically put a couple pounds of burger in these containers, and they are so sturdy I hated to just toss them. So, against my wife’s better wishes, I began saving them and I have found a perfect use.
I use them to hold my Jiffy Seed pots. They are waterproof, so I put the seed pots in the Aldi tubs and keep water in the bottom. The water seeps back up into the cups and keeps the soil moist and the black containers hold heat from the sun through the windowsill.
I am psyched, but don’t tell AOC. I may be green, but I’m not stupid.
