On improved recycling of waste in our Province

 So the province of Ontario where I live started recycling more products at the start of the New Year. I noticed that Styrofoam, toothpaste tubes, deodorant, chip bags, snack wrappers, plastic bags, packaging and film are now on the list of recyclables.  It made me realize how much plastic we use, I am now recycling so much plastic that used to go in the garbage!  If I have been storing fruit in a ziploc, it is easy to rinse it out and put it in the recyclables.  However I am unsure about toothpaste tubes, I think they may have to be cleaned out first? It may not be worth doing that.  Anyway I am happy to recycle all our plastic.

On this past Groundhog Day

 

Our local groundhog did not see his shadow yesterday Feb 2nd on Groundhog Day meaning it's a sign of an early spring and he would have stayed above ground.  However the groundhog in Philadelphia saw his shadow meaning 6 more weeks of winter (he would have returned to his hole).  

We have having a somewhat milder week, last week was brutal.
