I have been recycling for years as well as composting..i have planted trees…i have collected garbage and do that every spring on the roads in my town…in the past few years i have realized the value of repurposing things…not only is it good for the planet but such a personal reward for myself when i am done the project…a little bit of paint can go a long way and the computer opens up the whole world to others creative gifts…all of this is just now a way of life for me…
