50 Things: Part One "Guarding Our Buried Treasures"  
So, the first section of our little experiment begins to address the problems of limited resources.  How can we use things responsibly?  How do we take care of them?  How can we reduce, reuse, and recycle?  How can we best dispose of things that cannot be recycled or reused?

I believe we live in a universe teeming with abundance (and empty space) but that's no excuse for seeing how quickly we can alternately devour and fill it with trash.   The fact that the earth has such abundance and we've still managed to muck it up for ourselves really says something about human potential.  On the other hand, destruction and abandon are great fun for a two year old.  That may be an obstacle, but it may be an asset here too.

First up is glass recycling.  This is something we do already, although I'm a little embarrassed to admit that most of our glass consists of empty wine and beer bottles.  Eric saves the mason jars that pasta sauce comes in, despite some of my grumbling.  "REUSE!" he proclaims.  It is a big R.

More on glass recycling later, but I'm curious to know where you store your recycling and if you have any clever reuse projects or ideas. 

As an aside, I asked the two year old if she'd like to have a "secret" name for the blog.  She suggested Agent Froggie.  I somehow doubt that will stick.
