green plates

Thanksgiving is coming up.

Not one to put on the dog with china and crystal, I tend to go to the other end of the decorating spectrum.



I usually get the disposable styrofoam divided plates decorated in holiday colors... but since starting recycling I refuse to buy these plates, as our local recycling center does not accept them. So what do to?



Well, this one is easy, use real plates - duh! I may have enough, if not I can pick up a few more in town, at the dollar store or maybe the local thrift store where we take all our unwanted stuff. Hmmm, I think I took a set of stoneware dishes there a few years ago, I wonder...

Recycling has put many things into a different perspective, and the next recycling dilemma on the list is Christmas cards, more on that later.
