Recycle = Save the environment and our landfills keep our plant green by recycling. 

One person can do a lot towards saving our environment.  To help our world and our planet is hard work.  Trying to keep our plant clean and green is a big job. When you think you are alone think again, how many people out there also think they are alone in recycling old products. 

If you put each person that thinks they are alone together in a group, we form an army of people.

I have a few things that I have done myself to recycle to help improve the condition of our surrounding and make old things last longer. I will start with my gardening and go from there.

I was a big enthuastic gardener trying to feed five children and a hard working hungry man.

The soil I had to work with at the beginning was like beach sand. Over the years, it was improved.  I started by recycling newspapers (no colored paper) around all my plants and covering them with leaves and cut grass from the yard saving our landfill and by not polluting the air with burning leaves. 

In the fall, we plowed the mulch into the ground.  We saved the fall leaves for the next year in a back corner of the yard. By spring, I had a nice nest of worms doing their job by starting to recycle the leaves.  After my garden was planted and the plants were up about 4 inches my children and I would pull every little weed and mulch with more newspaper and all the leafs from last fall.

The garden was 99 % finished for the summer a weed might show up now and again but we pulled them, added the fresh cut grass, and very seldom had to water. Every thing was being recycled making sand into good organic garden soil. 

To improve it better I started checking with farmers that had old cow barns they were no longer using. They let me take all the old manure for free all I had to do was load it and haul it away. 

I hauled manure for years cleaning up what the old folks could no longer do and helping the environment by using natural organic fertilzer making use of quality science by nature. 

No, I have not had any natural, organic or science training just common scenes. I read a few gardening book and signed up for every free gardening catalog I could get.  I read from them all winter and getting my own ideas which I wrote down in a special folder.

I accepted any free plants and gave free plants. Every Sunday we would leave fresh vegetables at the rectory and at the nun's front door. We would just leave them by the front door and disappear.

A thank you was not necessary nor was a pat on the back.  It was just our way of sharing and giving back.  We gave away any or traded for what we did not grow ourselves of any extra food we could. 

It was like a shared community organic, recycling, environmental project. Every one benefited by their organic surrounding environmental habitat. That was back in the 1980’s. It seems after the Vietnam War so much of our community spirit left the hearts of our young people.  

I can say I see it coming back slowly more by the older generation then by our younger people which is sad. 

We need them on our side because without them we cannot survive.

We need to start teaching them at an early age about organic environmentally safe scientific habitats to help save our blue green planet earth.
