Today we're recycling.
Herewith an excerpt from the Earth Day post
10 years ago:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many in the community took to heart the admonition to "
reduce, reuse, and recycle" by donating household articles in the "free-cycle" area, which was largely picked clean by day's end. Most items were in good condition, but attendees were on their good behavior and didn't appear to be overly grabby despite everything being free.

| The church booth was crowded in the morning. |
Community organizations such as our church were permitted to sell goods for fundraising purposes. (All our proceeds went to hunger and education charities.) Keeping in mind the 3 R's of Earth Day, we applied heavy discounts from the start because we didn't want to have anything left at the close. Children's books at 3 for $1 moved quickly, and everything else was between 50 cents and $2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like last year, Earth Day in-person festivities have been cancelled. Let's hope that we'll have something new to write about on Earth Day, 2022.
