There are many things about malls that drive me nuts. Recycling is not one of them. There was talk among the Stapleton moms about composting, I think the city of Denver gives free lessons on how to do it. stapletonians.blogspot.com Hm.

Public toilets that is. I have been known to hold it for 12 hours to avoid peeing in a public restroom. They give me the heebies, but I am really trying to suppress that so that I don't pass my neurosis on to my kids! Lizzy, email me about the compost. I can help!!! Julie AT ChezArtz DOT com...

Wow. Now you've given me yet one more reason to not shop at them. My main problem with malls is the teen factor. I'm not the target demographic for malls. At least, not anymore. They make me feel incredibly old, and then my mother's voice is in my head, "You know, that's on sale at the discount store." www.imaginarybinky.com I’m a recycling and composting fanatic, but I don’t think I ever thought about the recycling issue at malls.

As a recycling fanatic, I felt kind of naked and exposed submitting this post. Had I not gotten any comments, I would have felt naked, exposed AND sad and stupid, too. So thank you for coming out of the woodwork!! Wow, thank you all for the comments. As a recycling fanatic, I felt kind of naked and exposed submitting this post.

Recycling bins AND most people use them. My pet peeve is that our neighborhood has recycling included FOR FREE with trash pick up, and I would generously estimate that only half our 360 homes takes advantage of it. And Waste Mgt just announced they are expanding which plastics and what paper products they'll take. We are now recycling more than we throw away, and I don't even have to haul it anywhere.

I am throwing away perfectly good compost. Alas, I have tried to compost and failed miserably so, until I can do it right, I am tossing them. Sniff, sniff. Thanks for reminding us that we should recycle in public as well as at home. I cry everytime I run vegetable peelings down my garbage disposal. I am throwing away perfectly good compost.

I love this post. Only one other family on my block recycles and it only costs $2 a month to have it picked up at our door. My doctor told me our baby is the only one she's seen in cloth diapers. It's sad really, all this talk about CHANGE and nobody putting their money where their mouth is. Ha! I love this post.
