Recycling: It Will Become An Even Bigger Problem Now

      We have 3 cans. The blue can is for recycling.

      What's going to happen now?

      Who wants to risk handling all the bottles and cans with covid-19 affecting everything.

      I used to let my mobile mechanic have all my recycling because most of the recycling centers I went to, closed a few years ago.  He moved out of the area a few months ago.

      I was going to put my bags of bottles on the street with "no covid" written on them but I wonder if anyone would even take them?

      The tenants put all theirs in the trash last week instead of the blue can because they had Covid. The wife is still on a ventilator.  

      Crazy

      Years ago, I read somewhere that if we dug a pit 30 miles long and a mile deep in some remote place like a desert, it would be able to handle all our nations trash for 100 years.

START DIGGING!

NO SMOKING!

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
