Help Your Parents Recycle

Goal: "Green Your Parents"

Step #1: Help Your Parents Recycle

I am trying to persuade my father to recycle the many documents from his office. Currently, the majority of his papers end up in the trash, and his confidential documents don't get shredded. I created two bins for his office. The first is labeled "Recycle, as is." for magazines, newspapers, invitations, letters, etc. The second is labeled "Confidential, shred, then recycle." Consequently, I stuck a label on his trash-can "Germ ridden, trash only." Hopefully, everything but his dirty Kleenex will now be recycled, saving 1/2 of a large black bag of trash each week, about 15lbs of paper.
