I am an Iced Coffee Drinker. Everyday I get a cup at my local coffee place. I end up with a plastic cup with a straw and plastic lid. The same is true for those of you who get plastic cups for your soda at the fast food restaurants. Did you know that those plastic cups are recyclable? The lid and straw go into the trash, but that cup goes in with your plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Don't throw it away, take it home and recycle it. If I got one cup everyday, that is 365 cups that can be recycled. If you are like me and use these cups, be like me and recycle them. Keep these cups out of our garbage stream.
Here you will find my adventures in gardening, baking, cooking, preserving and environmentally friendly living. Local and organic products are what I strive for. I love to bake and cook from scratch. There really is a difference when you use the freshest ingredients and make it yourself. I do it all from my home on Long Island, NY where the farm stands and my garden give me much of what I need. When you use local and organic ingredients you are being kind to the planet.
