CONTEST WINNERS POSTED!

First of all, I want to thank everyone for playing.

Second I want to let you know the reason I did this contest.

Every piece of garbage that you do not recycle/compost goes into a dump. Not only does it take FOREVER to degrade but it is ugly and takes up TONS of space!

Think about how much garbage you throw out and then imagine ALL of that sitting in your backyard for a year. Seriously, try to imagine it.

It takes a bit more time to recycle and compost, but I am willing to use that extra time to make a more beautiful place to live in (and cleaner air).

There are three winners in this contest!

The first winner is...............observations-of-life   for recycling every bit he can and his household only throwing out about 4 gallons of trash a month!

The second winner is..........nanasclothingandmore   for throwing out the most amount of trash for their household at about 728 gallons a month!

Now I realize there may be more people that live in the household, but to figure out the amount of trash for each person would have made the contest even more difficult to understand. Which leads me to the third winner..........

ladywhitknee     for being the most confused and changing her amount so many times! Gotta love her!

The picture below will illustrate the amount of trash nanasclothingandmore & observations-of-life uses in a month's time. The red object you see is a 13 gallon trash can. The tiny thing to the right of it is observations-of-life's trash for a month and the big blob you see is nanasclothingandmore's trash for a month all spread out. (Sorry, don't mean to make ya feel bad nanasclothingandmore).

Thank you ALL for playing; I had fun! I hope you did.

I will contact the winners so I can send the prizes.

Just 3 days ago I finally took out my trash. You want to know how long it took me to fill it up? My brother came here about APRIL 11-18 and we put a new bag in the can when he was here. By the time they left, it was 3/4 full. We finally filled it the rest of the way about MAY 13th. I believe it would have taken a lot longer to fill up........We'll see I guess how long this new one takes. BTW, a bit of baking soda and a top to the garbage takes the odors away.

I have been trying to recycle for a few years now and get better and better at it all the time, but I would love to become greener and greener....so if anyone has any tips, feel freeeeeeee to give them to me ~ Please!
