Bonnie Boelman 7/31/2019 10:03 AMWanted to get a composting bin this month, but it didn't happen. Still plan on getting one, just won't be in time for the challenge. -
Bonnie Boelman 7/16/2019 1:31 PMI am the recycle person in our office. I make regular trips to the recycle bins on Alvernon and 22nd. We have a recycle bin in our kitchen and we recycle boxes, used envelopes, shredded paper and old books. The paper bags, some of the smaller boxes and an occasional paperback law book are collected and get taken to the zoo for enrichment. Our staff is really good about using dishes and silverware instead of paper and plastic. Overall, the staff is doing a pretty good job.. -

Made my chai tea at home and used my reusable cup and straw. Packed my lunch and used my reusable sandwich bag, and glass jars. My Jello pudding is in a single use container, but will recycle it.-
Bonnie Boelman 7/10/2019 2:19 PMI have a jar I reuse for my paint brushes. I wish I had another use for them. I would be interested in saving them if someone knows a place that has a use for them. -
Carrie Dean 7/10/2019 1:52 PMCongrats Bonnie! Don't know if you paint, but those plastic cups are good for rinsing out brushes, of course, after the container is cleaned!
