Just a quick word on Earth Day, 2010. I would encourage you to not just make this a one day event, but to create a lifestyle of the 3 Rs. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Who'd have thought I would learn a simple way to go about this from my mother way before going green or recycling was such a big issue. We did it originally to save a little money.
A very simple way to do some reducing and reusing is to wash the plastic baggies a few times and reuse them before throwing them to the trash. It really does work! The great thing is, you will save a few pennies doing that as well.
Another very simple thing we do around the house: I have a paper recyclable bag in the garage and a small trash container upstairs that is dedicated to anything we can throw in our city's recycle bin. This makes it much easier to sort, and really saves on the time factor as well.
Check out some Earth Day activities this year at Envirolink, and see what you can do to start this year! Recycling really can be a fun thing to do if you make it so and keep it simple!
