Change begins at home!

Wasup People!!!!!!!
Ok so here’s my first step. I figure change begins in the home. My first step is recycling!! You know paper plastic glass containers and so forth. My friend Misty laughed at me last nite because Im not the greatest at sorting out plastic bottles and cardboard juice containers (recycling). I dont even know if my apartment building recycles even if i separated them and put them in the dumpster. I think I have to bring my container to a recycling center. I will figure that out this weekend. I also just realized my grocery bags. Im cutting out the use of those plastic grocery bags and grabbing up a couple go green reusable bags they sell at the supermarket! Check out these facts
* Between 500 billion and one trillion plastic grocery bags are consumed worldwide each year.
* About 100,000 birds die annually from encounters with plastic bags,
* About 100,000 about whales, turtles, and other marine animals who suffer abysmal fates thanks to windblown plastic bags that pollute their environments.
* About 12 million barrels of oil are required to produce enough plastic bags to appease our needs
Paper bags and recycling paper bags are just as bad if not worse than plastic. The list goes one. Im thinking by cutting out the use of plastic bags from the grocery store is a start and recycling by plastic containers and cardboard juice containers is a start.
***Any advice, help or just though from any one will be greatly appreciated****
My friend Michelle Gralow put me up on this site.. Thanks to her!. Check it the hell out!
Peace and Love
