Admittedly, I have already had problems and have started to fall off of the Sustainability Boat.  Or Wagon.  Whatever.  I am upset at myself, but I suppose it will take some time to become this uber-efficient princess (I can hear my dear friend Steve laughing), yes, Princess.

Since I have “put it out there” for various papers and plastics, let’s dive into the next category of recyclable goods – Glass.

1.  Where can I recycle glass in Southern Colorado?
2.  Where does it go?
3.  What is my incentive to recycle glass?
4.  If there is not an incentive, will there be any time soon?

Glass, as with most paper, is a material that is harder to recycle for someone like myself because I say….“Well, if it does end up in a landfill, at least it will either decompose, or not have a drastic negative impact on the environment.”

Now, that is sad, sad reasoning for someone like myself.  BUT, if perhaps we look at the financial side of this, i.e. how can I make MONEY??  It may hold a nearer and dearer place in my (and yes, in most of society’s) heart.

As I say out loud to the sky, “OH God what am I getting myself into?”

We better find a solution or you may find me…..let’s find the d@*% # solution.
