Everyone seems to be "going green" these days so I decided to do my part and explain what I believe is the easiest and most fun way to make household recycling easy and fun. First, however, I am going to show you why the classic method of recycling is antiquated and why most choose not to utilize it. There are some who suggest you keep six or seven different waste receptacles to divide up regular garbage and the various recyclable materials found commonly in households. This is utter nonsense due to skyrocketing garbage bag prices compounded by the fact that most of us regular citizens have not had a Harvard education, therefore making it almost impossible to keep track of all that trash. Even the classic "aluminum cans in one and everything else in the other" is just too complicated and physically challenging for the average person. These approaches are unappealing to the common man, therefore most opt not to do them.
There is an alternative. After doing a little bit of homework I have found a method of recycling that is far easier than the approaches mentioned above. In fact, it is so easy that my one-year-old is already participating. Here is how it works: You take all the garbage you have and put it in a classic garbage can. Meanwhile, take all the trash you have that is considered recyclable and put it in the same container. Once trash bin is full tie the top of it and take it outside to what is commonly referred to as the "trash barrel". Once a week, usually, you roll the "trash barrel" to the curb where a large truck will come by, pick it up for you, and haul it off to the city dump. When you and your family go outside to find that empty bin you can feel good about the fact that you have done your part to help out Mother Earth, after all it is the only one we have.
As always have a wonderful day, and tell everyone you see to read this blog. For everyone that has been inquiring there is a "How To Save The Economy Part Two" coming soon! Thanks!

the line between satire and seriousness in your writing is remarkably had to discern, Justin.
