Sometimes I waste so much time trying to decide what to do and how to do it. Do I wash (as opposed to rinse) my yogurt containers, or orange juice bottles or other plastic containers before I put them in the recycle? I couldn’t remember and got so frustrated, I threw them in the trash.

After awhile I felt guilty, pulled them out of the trash, rinsed them, and put them in a bag to take to one of the Chicago Recycling Center containers. My goal is to be committed to the green life but sometimes thinking about every little thing can be quite exhausting especially when one commutes by car 40 miles a day. Before you judge, it is unfortunate, that due to job circumstances, greening my commute life is not possible at the moment.

Later that night, I had a dream in which I was over taken by bacteria growth because I didn’t clean my yogurt containers well; it was sort of like the blob. However, I woke up before it could over take me.
