I knew it would finally happen....I knew it couldn't last forever....I knew I would get busted sooner or later!
Truth of the matter is “I have never been a conservative individual, hence, I do not conserve very much.” I eat at a friend's house fairly regularly, and she uses very few paper towels, while cooking, and uses cloth napkins! I think it could be said that at her house, Conservation is next to Godliness!!
I also have several friends and relatives who recycle. Mostly they do newspapers, but some recycle cans, motor oil, paint, & appliances. I realize that everything we can keep out of the landfill, the better off we will be, in the future, but of the above items, only old newspapers get recycled by me. Of course I don't change my own oil, nor do I do much painting. Never do I buy an appliance without getting the old one hauled off by the people that sold me the new one. That leaves tin cans, so maybe that ain't SO bad. Then again, I don't have a clue what the appliance stores do with the wore out appliances or what the oil changers do with the used oil, but maybe they dispose of everything properly.
Many, many people drive very small automobiles, and get many more miles to the gallon than I do. That is another area that I just cannot seem to be very conservative. Even these beautiful 70 degree days we have had this spring, has not made me open the windows, instead of using the air conditioner.
I think I am incorrigible . I think I am a derelict. Sometimes I think I am not a good citizen. It is time I practice conservation in all areas of my life.
