If you think that the recycling number embossed on the bottom of your plastics is the solution to the plastic problem, think again. Of the seven types of plastic that are stamped as “recyclable” only two are easily and efficiently recycled. Plastics are labeled with numbers 1 through 7.

Number 1 is pretty easy to recycle: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE). It is often clear, relatively lightweight (or thinner) and is used in:

• Mouthwash containers
• Soda bottles
• Salad dressing containers
• Plastic food jars
• Water bottles

Number 2, also easy to recycle, is High density polyethylene (HDPE), is used in heavier containers like:

• Milk jugs
• Snack food containers
• Laundry detergent containers
• Shampoo bottles
• Detergent bottles

… they will be. I dare you to wander down memory lane with these bloggers and not find the golden days of your past reflected in their words.  How about an old time Drive in Movie with stormy skies?  Or a trip in the car with a Daddy who wouldn’t ask for directions?  Or maybe these photos will elicit the delicious nostalgia of that trip to Rome…

Peace, out!

Shelly shares the wisdom of Leroy “Satchel” Paige; definitely words to live by and this old post from Thorne’s Word on an humerous but true poem by Shel Silverstein is worth a read.  Jessica the Rock Chick waxes poetic (and misty eyed) over the recent innauguration of our president while holding forth on the importance of catboots to the ceremony!

Too much fun and much to consider today. Do you have a bit of wisdom to share?  Leave your link in comments and I’ll visit.  You might even be featured in an upcoming bloggy roundup review.

Peace, out!
