Publisher’s Dear EvaMag

Letter

Readers, I am embarrassed to say that I only started recycling months ago. Oh, there were futile attempts, but I would always complain that the recycling bin offered by the sanitation department was tiny. Why really bother? And then my family grew and grew and grew. We could not fit all the garbage used in a week into one of the gigantic garbage cans that the sanitation department loans you to pick up all your trash whether it is recycled or not. So for the holidays I bought three big plastic totes. It was a challenge trying to see over them to the front of the cart while trying to steer and talk on the phone at the same time. But I walked out of there smiling proudly at the most inexpensive gift I was about to give to my family.

They wondered what was under the big sheet. What grandiose gift was awaiting them the next morning? Needless to say, it was downer. For me, it has been the gift that keeps leaving. The big garbage can is half-filled. There is more than one trip a week to the recycling center and I can’t imagine how much I have carelessly trashed and filled a landfill. It is certainly never too late to learn or to change ways that seem laborious and seemingly small. But if we all got together it wouldn’t be such a small change after all. Please recycle. I will help you carry the recycle bins to your car. That is the most daunting thing about recycling. Getting the containers to your car, but you can do it. Just do it! Go sit in the grass, ~Donna Starr
