Dear Kid,
Tomorrow is a big day. It’s Clean Your Refrigerator Day and America Recycles Day.
One would hope there’s not too much recycling of the things you manage to clean out of your refrigerator.
I don’t know if we’ll get around to celebrating Clean Your Refrigerator Day. The frig needs it, that’s for sure. It’s been sending out mysterious sticky spots as invitations, but so far nothing seems to have developed limbs, so I’m guessing we can put it off a week or two if we have to. On the other hand, given everything we went through to get the darn thing, you’d think we might clean it up occasionally.
As far as recycling goes, I can’t decide if I think having a Day dedicated is good or not. On the one hand anything that promotes recycling is Good. On the other hand, needing a Day for something we should be doing all the time is frustrating.
I don’t think we have a Day dedicated to garbage; as a society, we’re pretty good at throwing things away, so we don’t need a capital “D” Day to remember to do it.
Not so much with recycling.
Which is too bad.
So tell everyone to take their cans and paper and cardboard and other recyclables and keep them out of a landfill.
At least for one day.
Who knows? It might start a habit.
Love, Mom
