Do you save every soda can, newspaper and piece of cardboard so that you can later recycle the items?

 

Are you more adamant about recycling than the average person?

 

If so, please share your story. We are gearing up to publish our annual Going Green / Home and Garden section -- a special section designed to help you go green and introduce you to others in the community who are already doing so.
