I’m sure other people do this too, but the way I like to recycle the magazines I’m done reading is to take them with me to a doctor or dentist appointment, and leave them in the waiting room. Luckily, I rarely have appointments like this, so I just save up a pile of magazines until I do. (If my name & address are printed on the cover, I just cut that part out.)
I know how much I appreciate having choices other than Golf Digest and Sports Illustrated when I’m in a waiting room, and at the same time, my magazines get an extended life…rather than just ending up in the recycle bin.
There’s my earth-friendly tip for the day!
I hope everyone has had a peaceful New Year’s Day! Our day was quiet and relaxing, which was perfect after an extremely stressful week at work. I rung in the new year last night by going to bed early.
And now it’s a new year and a new decade (!) so that feels like a nice fresh start. 😀
Happy 2010!
