I save Trees !!!!! WHOOO HOOOO !!!

When I was single ( ahh, the memories ) I never really thought much about recycling or the effects of not doing so and when I met my wife she was the only one I knew who was. Now almost 9yrs later I have been pretty much programmed to put any glass jar, plastic bottle or piece of paper in the recycling bin without hesitation even though I'm not so sure it make a difference( shit.....I'm a robot ). Plastic bags from the grocery store have always been my favorite since I could pretty much grab all the bags and take them in the house in one trip, but now we have purchased our own bags to bring with us when we go shopping for grub and I can see the impact it has had on my wife and the smile it brings to her face when she feels she is doing her part and that inturn makes me smile as well. With some really HEAVY events happening over the last 8yrs I cant help but also feel that recycling our garbage seems to be the last thing I should be thinking about, I mean how does paper over plastic help us stop downspiraling into economic doom ? ( I'm sure someone out there will be able to tell me but play along here :)~
My wife likes to bust my chops and say "don't be poop in a puch bowl " when I get so serious or " its the end of the world day" gloomy and I try to keep my head up and laugh it off and think about my N-scale train project or an upcoming warhammer game I've arranged with some friends or maybe a movie I've been waiting to see with an old pal of mine that I know my wife wont go to LOL, but how can I not worry ? I'm still unemployed and havent been able to even get a response back from the places I've put applications in while I attend school and these are just part time jobs anyone can do ! ( GOD this state sucks !! ) I guess what Im trying to say I wont be so easy to pat myself on the back over a few canvas bags when I just might feel my skin back there cause' my shirt is gone LOL ( see sweetie, im laughing ) LOL.
