The portovert article is great.

I've been planning to do simple wild flowers in recycled glass bottles as centerpieces, but it's so easy to get sidetracked. Thanks for the reminder to keep it simple. The wild flowers will be more low-key (and more me!) than imported flowers or super-labor-intensive diy arrangements.

As a Charleston-based hospitality company, we have LOTS of recyclable goods being produced nearly every single day, like say Sunday morning after a Saturday wedding! We just ramped up our recycling program. Now, corrugated cardboard, glass, plastic, aluminium, tin. It all gets recycled. In the coming months, we're hoping to start composting.

I've been working on my RRR. My husband and I are getting ready to move cross-country and have adopted a simple formula: if we don't use it often, we don't need it. If it's too big to move and we don't LOVE it, yard sale. If we need something new in our new home, only buy used. We need to stop the cycle of our personal consumer consumption and help Recycle others'.
