Nothing like a warm spring day to get the juices flowing. After my hill running this morning I finished weeding my sisters flower garden. I suggested she get some seeds to thrown in there to maybe discourage the weeds from returning with such a vengeance. May not work, but at least maybe if there is something in there besides weeds we wouldn't notice them as much.
Now I'm working on my recycle art project for the art exhibit taking place at the Center in July. Whether it can qualify as art will be debatable, but at least I'm giving it the old Rosemary try.
For those who already know about the new plastic's program I'm working on, you can skip the rest of today's entry. I'm sure you have heard enough. However, for those of you who have been waiting since yesterday with bated breath to hear about it, this is for you.
We will engage the youth organizations in the community to work with out committee to do a monthly curb side collection of plastic. The community would use the clear plastic bags to store their plastic over the month, then put the bags curb side on the designated day. The youth, with the supervision of their mentors and our committee, would drive around town, pick up the bags and place them into a semi trailer for transport to Billings. Allied would weigh the trailer and pay back to the youth organizations the money due. I have already gotten a commitment for a trailer from Allied and the high school group wants to work with us. I will go to another youth program that wants to do community work tomorrow night and feel them out, too.
What could be simpler than that? Sometimes it seems we just think we have to make things complicated or they just aren't a viable solution to our problem. There must be something wrong with it if it is too simple and doesn't involve alot of money and logistics and o, of course lots of committee meetings. I have to say there's a lot truth to the old KISS.
Yeah for the kids!
