Nat and I were in the car running some errands on Thursday, when she asked if she could have a drink of my sprite. I gave her the can and after her very long chug of sprite, she asked if she could recyle the can. I said "well sure" as I thought how does my 3 year old know about recycling. I make an effort to use less energy (that could have been brought on by my dad and my light bulb in my teenage room- THAT is a whole different blog),anyway, I conserve water and don't use paper plate, and throw away cups on an everyday basis. I would like to think I am trying to make a difference for the environment, but we don't recycle. Well we didn't recycle...until Thursday! She rinsed the can out in the sink and put it in the recycle bin in the garage. We don't drink alot of soda, but I saved 2 cans we had while she was at her grandparents house, and this morning, she was so excited to see them, and climbed up to the sink, rinsed them out and asked to take them out to the bin. I made chili today and was getting ready to throw away some cans and a glass jar...(obviously not thinking about it) and she says "no no no..I can recycle those" so we cleaned them out and in the bin the went! I need to do some research to find out what can go together, and what needs separated so we can be a little more organized about this... She is an amazing little girl!
