It is amazing how much can be recycled and how little can go into the landfill if everybody does their part.

In Bozeman the local Food Bank, HRDC, and local restaurants have teamed up to open the Community Cafe, and every night between 5 and 7 they serve food free to anyone who walks in. Local churches provide the wait staff, a grant provided for the purchase of the building and a head chef, and the restaurants provide the leftover and unused food to serve at the Cafe. It has taken off in a big way-people are being fed and nothing is wasted. You don’t have to be on any kind of program to eat there, just walk in.

All thought of by a church secretary.

I did NOT know that about Staples! Does AOL still send out those satanic discs willy-nilly?

Several big food consumers in Ithaca (Cornell U., Wegman’s grocery, small restaurants) compost their food waste. I’m sure other cities do it, too, it’s just that Ithaca is the most environmentally-progressive place I’ve been so far.

I like “free piles.” Mostly to give to, sometimes to take from.

Yay you! The sis in law that you met thinks Stan and I are crazy for making the effort but we are the caretakers of this planet. We find less and less going in our trash and more being recycled. When we have stuff we don’t want that is still good we either give it to Goodwill or put it in the free box we keep at the end of the driveway. “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

We don’t have a bucket list either – we just enjoy each day and whatever happens, happens!

No bucket list for me. Kind of like having a list of chores to do around the house. Too overwhelming. Sooner take it as it comes, with a view towards taking on NEW things as they come along, rather than trying to achieve some agenda or other. To each his own.

I think that the life you live would constitute a bucket list for many people. I think you and Colin both have longevity in your veins.

I too have been to many funerals, and quite few people younger than me. Twelve years ago my younger brother at 38 yrs young to kidney cancer, made us really want to live our dream as soon as possible, and we began that journey 6 years ago.
