Leap and the net will appear
Yesterday began our three week onslaught of visitors who are all escaping January in the Midwest. This is one of the perks of living in Hawaii (your friends and family will visit you with fervor). We are taking full advantage of this until we move back to the mainland in six weeks.
Another move. Another leap.
Here’s hoping there’s a net! The moving has already begun, actually. In preparation for squeezing four people and a cat into our 500 square foot apartment, we packed up (and shipped!) five boxes, and I brought two boxes to Goodwill (some things were only worth shipping across the world once and didn’t make the second cut).
We also decided to (finally) take out the recycling.
With our low-waste lifestyle, we don’t accumulate a lot of recycling (which I have come to LOVE), but it adds up over a few months. In an earlier post, I declared that I was unwilling to walk a mile lugging bags of cans and bottles to the nearest recycling center.
Apparently, I am less willing to throw them away.
Two days ago, we gathered our recyclables (five grocery bags full) and journeyed out to save the world one can at a time. Well, really we were hurriedly carrying trash across town in rapidly deteriorating plastic bags (now I know why, to my irritation, cashiers always try to double bag my groceries). Anyway, we made it without broken glass strewn all over the sidewalk. We gave the recycling center our waste and the recycling center gave us $1.04.
Totally worth it.
