It felt sort of earth-motherishdumping stuff in it, and the smell in the big garden bin is more earthy than anything else. But it is considerably less agreeable taking stuff out in the rain and wind!Christine McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198224025775398453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-87043112248410768662008-10-23T04:01:00.000+01:002008-10-23T04:01:00.000+01:00Chris, I had read your entry about recycling on my...Chris, I had read your entry about recycling on my cell phone earlier today but could not reply. (my cell and blogger have issues with one another!)<BR/><BR/>I had to purchase just a couple of little items and as I passed by the store's floral area, I stopped to see what their bouquets looked like. <BR/><BR/>I couldn't believe my eyes when they landed upon the strangest little flower bouquet. It had a hang-tag attached, proclaiming that the container in which it was placed (UGLY grey mache...looking so SO ugly!!!!)was created from recycled paper products. AND, the blamed thing was expensive. <BR/><BR/>I LOVE flowers. I would always have them around if possible. AND, perhaps I am a freak, but I SAVE the glass, metal and wooden containers I have gotten over the years. WHY would I want some ugly cardboard/egg carton-looking thing sitting on my table? If asked, I would say some enterprising individuals have taken the "green theme" just a bit beyond its boundaries. But then again, THEY are the ones rakin' in the dough, eh?Katyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558961417235143567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-59688531599883688612008-10-22T17:48:00.000+01:002008-10-22T17:48:00.000+01:00Sorry...that was me!Sorry...that was me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-75884904766944266042008-10-22T17:43:00.000+01:002008-10-22T17:43:00.000+01:00I am fairly diligent about recycling paper, glass ...I am fairly diligent about recycling paper, glass etc. but I find composting a smelly bind........I will try!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-68429941606871338572008-10-22T16:49:00.000+01:002008-10-22T16:49:00.000+01:00A waterproof hair-shirt (not sure about the hyphen...A waterproof hair-shirt (not sure about the hyphen) is in the post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
