The area of Chicago I live in doesn't recycle....it drives me batty. The nearest drop off is over a mile away and I don't have a car. So I try to find other ways to reuse things in my house.
If I buy a plastic water bottle from a store, I always reuse it. But normally I carry around some type of reusable container to drink out of.
I also have recycled many a wine bottles and converted them into citronella candles for our back patio...for example:

I don't get that either. I am kinda wishy washy about recycling and whatnot but when I see trash in town (or out of town too!) it drives me apeshit. I was walking into the grocery store once and passed a woman who was waiting in her car at the entrance, probably for someone who was inside.

I filled up TWO garbage bags full of crap! On ONE block.
It's horrible again, but it's too cold outside. Maybe if it warms up again I will do it.
MK do you have Amazon Prime? You get free streaming videos there and it looks like some of the seasons are free and others (like season 6 you can buy used for 16.00-19.00)
I don't get littering either. H and I went to the Grand Canyon two weeks ago and we were just walking along the paved rim trail that has garbage cans every 50 feet or so and there was STILL litter. I picked up stuff as I saw it and threw it away. The good thing about doing that though is it apparently made more people aware of it because I saw people picking up trash too.

I keep trying to get Netflix on my Wii but it wont work for some reason.
I don't get why people still start smoking. I mean, I understand why older people do it--they were addicted long before the health risks were so publicized.
I see much younger people starting it, and it just boggles my mind. It's impossible to get to the age of 18 and NOT know the health risks, so I just don't get it.
ETA: I'm not saying smokers are stupid. I'm saying I don't get why they start. I do get that it's incredibly hard to quit, which is also well known, so that brings me back to my original issue.

I've heard of others having this issue. Probably why we haven't done it through that system yet. That and the Wii is currently in a POD, so it's incapacitated at the moment.
special, I don't understand that either. H's brother started smoking at 20 or so and I will never get it - their parents smoked and my H said if anything it made him never want to touch it (they have both since quit.)
