Labeling before recycling ...

We have recently labeled four of our bins into 3 categories: glass, aluminum and plastic to help us separate and understand what we are recycling. We are using this system to minimize waste and keep contaminated waste out. We use the fifth bin to collect "grey water". The water we save in this bucket we use for washing out our recyclables. conserving water useage in this way, I estimate that we have saved 1 shower's worth of water from needlessly going down the drain this week!

Please see this video to see how effective the recycling of grey water can be.

I hope the townhomes that replaces ours have the BRAC system installed!

Other little efforts/changes we have made include: Y/B rule on the toilet and the we expect we will be using our new LED keychain flashlights to light our way through the dark stairwell and to the bathroom.

Photos to follow soon ...

Thanks for the good work guys! 3 weeks to go!
