…R-E-C-Y-C-L-E

Oh the things I could write here...I'll let you use you're imagination, but here's a suggestion: Don't be a grouch, recycle.

Okay, I admit it, despite my best efforts I have become addicted to “green” issues.  I Zer326 am a “green”aholic.
 
Wow, I feel better.  It feels good to get that off my chest.  Oh, and by the way: Happy 12th Annual America Recycles Day! 
 
The first step to recovery is acceptance, and I’ll move on to the second step (what ever that is) when I feel like it.  But for now…
 
In honor of the spirit of recycling I thought I’d share some of my recycling wisdom.  All too often people are unsure of what they can and can’t recyle.  How many times have you asked yourself, “What should I do with this left over canister of motor oil? Maybe I should recycle it.”  Don’t do it!  Here’s my list of recycling tips:
  • If you have a recycling bin be sure you pay attention to what goes in (look I’m a poet).
  • Styrofoam is evil, and you can’t recycle it.
  • To all you eco-friendly new parents out there, coming soon…dirty diaper recycling plants that actually run on dirty diapers (seriously, check it out).
  • Most importantly, always remember that hazardous wastes have their place, and that place is not right next to your empty milk cartons (isn’t rhyming fun!)

Now that you’re armed with the tools you need help save the world one aluminum can at a time, I urge you to go forth and celebrate America Recycles Day (embrace your inner “green”aholic).

Here are some more tools to help you celebrate America Recycles Day:

This pint-size pixie will be helping the UN to promote "green" thinking.

Important news out of the United Nations yesterday.  A new “Honorary Ambassador of Green” was announced.  The UN bestowed the honor on Tinker Bell, a controversial choice.

The loudest cries of protestation have come from Tink’s fellow nominee under consideration for the position, Kermit the frog.  Sticking to his claim that Tinker Bell is not even a legal resident of Earth, Kermit has stated over and over,”I just want to see a birth certificate. I don’t think that’s asking too much.”

Tinker Bell has yet to release an official statement responding to these allegations.

 Despite the negative response from some, UN officials are standing by their decision.  “We’re delighted Tinker Bell has agreed to be our Honorary Ambassador of Green,” said Kiyo Akasaka, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information.  Tinker Bell’s main duty as “Honorary Ambassador of Green” will be to help promote environmental awareness to children. 

Rendered speechless by the honor, Tinker Bell did not have any comments for the press following the ceremony on Sunday. 

 With this important issue out of the way UN officials will now have their plates clear to focus on other issues.  Rumors have already started to circulate that a certain pants wearing mouse is under consideration for a new secret task force.

Just in case you think I made this up: Tinker Bell named UN “Honorary Ambassador of Green”.
