2 parts to recycling

When I throw things in my recycle bin I am so proud of myself, and I am even prouder when I find good ways to repurpose (like washing out ziploc bags and reusing them). I realized the other day though, that in order to close that circel and really bring it home, I need to buy recycled things as well. Now that I have made that connection, I am going to make the effort (and spend the extra dough) to buy stuff MADE of recycled products (like paper and plastic items). I hope tht power of the buck will speak to manufacturers to use recycled raw materials . I know I prefer it (repuposed seems best don’t you think?)
