[Grovenet] Tired of the garbage

[allnutt]

Besides joking about getting people to buy less stuff which will be very 
hard to do, I basically agree with you.
But what is the orange box?  I haven't seen any and I don't have one either.
My gripe is that I can never remember which can is the one that only gets 
picked up every other week? The grass clippings or the recyclable trash?  So 
I always set out everything as my neighbors seem to have the same memory 
problems I do so I can't read their habits to give me clues.
Maybe if we decide to see the beauty in the cans and let their unsightly 
look remind us that we are avoiding the even uglier trash problem of filling 
up more landfills with stuff that can be recycled we'll feel better about 
the whole thing.

PS.  We could have everybody paint happy faces on the sides of the 
cans.....or faux flowers....or wilderness scenes...or sell the space for 
advertising!
