Plastic Bottles and Cups

Hi, I'm the Saturday poster for Living the Green Life! My post is about making a commitment to recycling plastic bottles and cups. Over the past couple of days this new goal has helped me realize how many non-biodegradable things I put into the environment daily. Between bottles of water, juice, sodas, and cups of fruit, or iced coffee among other things, I can say I easily toss at least ten plastic items into the environment daily without a second thought. With our new study focus being the health of the Earth, I find that it was important for me to find out this fact about myself and make a permanent adjustment to it. Admittedly, it can be a little annoying having to leave my room and walk down the hall in order to deposit the bottles/cups into the recycling bin in my dorm common room, but I've started to think of it as protecting the environment while protecting myself from my own laziness.
