RE: Volunteering to Clean the River Side
That sounds like a wonderfully productive way to volunteer! Ironic snack selection indeed - I wonder if they'll eventually change it up (or maybe use products wrapped in biodegradable plastic). I've always thought that using "forced" volunteers (people who need to do community service for punishment) to clean up areas was an excellent idea - glad to see it's happening in places. Best of luck with your future volunteer efforts!
Thanks.
We can recycle vinyls here, buy I'm not sure what that means. Recycling is sort of ambiguous and often mean separate disposal.
I do like watchimg the forced volunteers, they tend to do a poor job until they are reminded that they can get bonus hours by working harder. Some of them are so bitter. Maybe they will change later.

You're welcome. And what I meant was I've seen some snack foods lately that hubby's brought home from work (his manager has a table in the office set up with munchies for the team to grab on the go, and she's been trying to add healthy, environmentally friendly things lately) that had wrappers either made from recycled plastic, or were biodegradable... of course, at the moment, I can't think of a single specific example...LOL!
And yes, sometimes people are so bitter they can't see the opportunities presented to them. However, you never know when a small seed is planted, and years later, it helps them grow and change as a person.
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
I have definitely seen a healthier and more environmentally friendly options. Buying a box of cookies instead of a box of packages of cookies is one idea. And yes, not all plastic or paper is equally as bad. I'm sure most of the stuff is recyclable, however, you get people saying stuff like, oh a gum wrapper is so small, why recycle that?
