Greensboro's plastic bottle ban takes effect today. Plastic bottles can be thrown into the garbage can no longer. All No 1 PETE and No 2 HDPE bottles must be rinsed out and placed in a recycling bin either at home or like this one found behind the fire station on Horse Pen Creek Road. When in doubt, look for the 1 or 2 on the bottom of the item inside the triangle with arrows.
This photo is our contribution to the City Daily Photo Theme Day. October's theme: CONTRAST. We're contrasting those who recycle with those who don't. Also in this photo is contrasted MAN and NATURE. The cement parking lot and dumpster butt up to green grass and are featured front and center below a beautiful blue sky. Last time we checked, there were over 1,000 cities with daily photo cites (an outgrowth of a blog by Eric of Paris). Many daily photo sites will participate in theme day.

Good luck with the recycling program. It seems as though so many people find it easier to toss everything in the one trash can. It takes some effort, but it certainly is worth it.
Thanks for your kind words on my Day of Atonement post and that of Dina at Jerusalem Hills Daily. I applaud your effort with Sacred Sunday and I hope that you continue. You are doing more than I, because it's expected from someone in my profession. But, you do it out of love for the Lord and to spread the word. Pax.

A law against plastic bottles in the garbage! Good one! Israel needs that law.

Great reminder. I have two thing I am struggling with - loosing weight and recycling. Achieving those will make me feel better. Recycling looks like realistic goal :)
