There Must Be A Better Way

Newspapers: Nathan goes to BYU campus 3 times a week for yoga and always brings home 2 copies of the "Daily Universe"s (so that there is a crossword puzzle for each of us to do). That's 6 papers a week. Then there's the UVSC paper that he picks up when he goes to his weekly class there. (he only brings home one because it doesn't have a crossword puzzle) And sometimes he'll stop by a building on campus that has free New York Times available. Those are big newspapers.

All of this adds up to a lot of newsprint in our home. When we lived on BYU campus recycling bins were very convenient and I used those once a week. Now recycling is not convenient and it usually piles up next to the trash can until I remember to bag it so Nathan can take it to BYU and dump it there.

I also don't throw away papers that aren't newspapers because BYU recycles that too. So I have a pile of papers next to my trash that needs to be sorted into newsprint and not newsprint so Nathan can take it with him next time he goes to BYU. Except that most of the time he's in a hurry and forgets to take it and it piles up more. Or he doesn't have time or forgets to dump it in the bin and then it's in our car until he remembers.

Maybe it is time to start throwing the paper away.
