Beautiful Blues
Hello, friends. I'm writing today overflowing with joy about recycling...because I love to recycle. I really do. Sandra loves it that I love to recycle. She smiles every time I come home from the office with another bag full of catalogs and old computer manuals to add to the stack on our back porch. She smiles demurely, caresses my shoulder, and whispers how excited she is to watch me save the planet.
I really really love to recycle. It is my favorite hobby. More favorite, even, than blogging.
There are many of you out there who don't love to recycle. I understand this. You don't have to explain. I'm writing because I think you and I can help each other. You see, I love recycling so much that I frequently run out of those charming blue bags that the City allots us each quarter. I was thinking the other day that perhaps you would be willing to give me your unused blue bag coupons! Perhaps even now there are coupons in your filing cabinet, still attached to your utility bill stubs, crying out silently to have a purpose in this world.
Won't you help these starving bags get full of the trash I collect up and down my street?
Please write today if you can do this. I'll send a reminder email once a quarter. I'll even come to your house to get them, to save you the time and energy remembering your special commitment.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks Tim, but I want to get the kind of attention from my wife as Sandra gives you when you recycle.
I think I am going to start. You are an inspiration.
will you even come down to my house for pick up?
just kidding. we already have recycling pickup.
Hooksett sucks. They make us pay to recycle. What kind of motivation is that?!
I would pay to recycle, I love it that much.
Noblesville has curbside pick-up for glass, metal, plastic and newspapers. Problem is, we can only recycle #1 & #2 plastics. If I save all those other numbers, will you recycle them for me? It would help alleviate a lot of guilt. Especially if you come pick them up.
I would have to agree with Tim that recycling is the BEST hobby. After all, who wouldn't love to have piles of old cardboard, empty milk cartons, and plastic bottles stacked to the ceiling in the laundry room and blocking the back door? Ezra gets hours of entertainment going through the big blue bags finding "treasure" and recycling has taught him one very important lesson: Save EVERYTHING! Oh yes, I am thrilled to have a recycling husband and only wish we could also recycle styrofoam...
IT's a good thing you are helping out the planet. But I wish more people would recycle all plastics besides 1 and 2! All those plastics, sitting in a landfill, taking years to break down. There is no good reason to leave them there!
