In Conclusion

I think I've at least met my personal goals with this project. It got me off my lazy bum to recycle. The blog made me accountable for my actions in a public space. It encouraged me to clean, complete my goals of recycling, and research more about why we should recycle. I don't know if it convinced you, the reader, but I hope you at least learned something or enjoyed my exploits. This is a final car load of junk that has been sitting my car for a while. It's got to go:

Beer Wall Full!


Now that the beer wall is full it's time to take it all to my recycling center of choice at Russ's Market. I have always had a soft spot for it, at least compared with Super Saver. Jake will be sad to see it go but I think he'll manage. Lee will get to start his juice wall.
