Day #39: tabs



while shooting these tabs i remembered one of my favorite cartoons called "the littles." the littles could use these tabs to make rims for their cars i bet.

i also remembered a type of game i learned when i was a tween. while bending the tab back and forth on the can you say the alphabet and whatever letter it ended up breaking off on is the first letter of the person that likes you likes you.

and yes... i will be reusing these tabs for something really cool and then later to be recycled :)

Day #38: i spy



"Basic Benefits of HDPE recycling are:

* HDPE Recycling can help reduce waste disposal costs (since the HDPE Plastic is removed from the waste stream).

* HDPE Recycling can generate revenues from the sale of the recycled HDPE.

* HDPE Recycling can reduce labor costs associated with the handling of HPDE during the waste disposal process.

* HDPE Recycling can help with streamlining overall waste processing operations.

* HDPE Recycling can help free up space (used for the temporary storage of HPDE).

* HDPE Recycling can help improve workplace safety and neatness."

Day #37: paper chaser



every month i end up with a big ol' heaping pile of paper trapped in my work portfolio. i sort through it all when i'm in my home office and it goes straight into the upstairs recycling container. laziness is no longer an excuse as to why unwanted paper doesn't end up in the big blue bin.

p.s. someone threw out the recycle box jenny and i started at work. no worries. i will be looking for reusable containers.
