Pouring myself the last of my organic soymilk today, I tossed the box into the garbage. I looked for a recycle sign on the box. There wasn’t one. So I thought about it. I might drink fair-trade organic coffee, but I still toss the foil-y bag into the garbage. Aren’t these two things connected? Recycling and organics? Both are efforts to care for our environment. Hmmm, I would like to see much more crossover between them. So I will be keeping a closer eye on which organic foods come in recyclable containers.

At I’m Organic ™ they must have been thinking the same thing. It is the only place you can find 100% recycled wristbands. And check out the interesting biodegradable travel mugs too. Cool.

I loved about the CSA we belonged to because if we used their little containers to bring food home, we could bring them back the next week. Well, that and the scrumptious brilliant food. Bring your own bag, pick your food from the guy who grew it, shake his hand, return any containers you take home. Recycle. Re-use. Save everyone money and save the environment some. I like that. Seeing that they are enviornmentally aligned, I wonder what else we can do to connect recycling with organics?
