New Today:   Get the family together, or whoever you live with!  Make it fun.  Kid and spouse involvement. Family Green Award.  Show them the signs, the bins and the At Home tracker.  Contest to see who can come up with the most clever way to monitor progress as you adopt new habits. 

For example:  When Christine's husband was trying to teach her to properly recycle, he’d go through the garbage with her, and in a very humorous way say….uh oh, what do we have here- a recyclable  in the garbage can?  Penalty for each misplaced item:  a minute of shoulder massage!.  Not that that was a difficult punishment, but hey- trying to make it fun can go in a lot of directions.

Check out the Recycling section of our site for more information on why this matters!

New Today:  Recycling:  Just do it.  Find 5 or 10 minutes right at bedtime to play the recycling game – checking on what missed the bins.
