    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    You can recycle newspapers, books, basically all paper items. Tetra-Pak cartons, cans, plastic bottles, plastic packaging, and cardboard. My family got a membership at the Bottle Drop so our refillable bottles become reused. The most difficult thing for me is knowing what to recycle but I have learned a lot!

    Through practicing gratitude I am reminded of all that I have and that motivates me to remind others to think of all that they have to be great- full for. It also motivates me to help those who don’t have what I am reminded of when I practice gratitude.
