This is what my house recycles in a month. Often, my mum and I are counting down to the days where Tzu Chi comes to collect our items.I have certainly been more conscious eg trying to recycle the clean sweets/snack wrappers by keeping them in my bag to bring home instead of throwing them right away. But just learnt that they do not really recycle such plastic materials and so will have to throw away next time. However there are still a lot of things to recycle such as glass containers, plastic containers, papers, papers wrappings etc. Feel grateful that there is such an organization that cares about the environment! Thankful that they come to our area every month for the recycling drive else my place will be piling up with things! :) They certainly cover more items than some of our universities where the items to recycle through the recycling bins are very restrictive.
I still need to be more mindful of using wooden disposable chopsticks. Still guilty of using them. Surprised that some good restaurants still use them for sit down meals. Lets work together to protect our environment! :)
