A Day at Public Works

We made it to the PW event this year. For some reason we always miss this! They had a paw clues fact finding mission that Todd and Megan took on along the way. Megan allowed a moth caterpillar crawl all over her arm, we went up in the bucket (notice my white knuckles), and tried to get Timothy to relax. Momma's boy he is. He pretty much didnt leave my arms! Oh Timmy. I spent some extra time at the recycling booth. Did you know that the plastic lid on your milk jug (as well as all other lids) are made of a different plastic than the bottle? Did you know that when you recycle them, they should be removed from the base (bottle, jug, etc) so they dont get mixed when the recycling happens. A lot of plastic is discarded because the wrong plastics get mixed together and they cannot use it. Note to self!!! And make sure to rinse out your stuff. Otherwise they get critters in the recycling process as well. It's not garbage. It's recycle! Try to do your part! www.swancc.org for you Cook County folk. Check out more in your area!
