My Decade-Long Recycling Project!
A decade ago, when I started freelancing, I realized that I could re-use paper… umm, yeah, DUH!
So all my paper that had something on just 1 side, I put in this light blue box. I kept using it and using it, recycling and recycling. I put it in my printer whenever I’m printing stuff out just for myself- rough drafts, articles to read, lists, etc.
Now my ‘one sided’ paper box is empty, but here’s the good part-
IT TOOK 10 YEARS!… A decade? Are you kidding me? I’m so excited. Now I’m realizing how very little paper I’ve bought in the past decade and how much of a difference my little recycling effort has made on my life and for the planet.
Happy (Belated) Earth Day!

Good for you!
On another note – I love the boxes!
Yeah!! What a great idea!! And–duh!–why haven’t I been doing that for the last 10 years, too?!!
Thanks for sharing a super idea. . . I’m out to buy my own light blue box.
OMG, that’s something to marvel at! I need to start doing that so Noah can have craft paper that doesn’t just go to waste.
10 years I am impressed. I started doing it several months ago….we’ll see if it’ll last that long. WOW!
Tell me what you're thinking...
