Just recently I’ve noticed the little triangular recycling symbol many more places than I had ever before. I’m not sure if they are actually more places, or if I have never spotted them before, or what.  But they are appearing a lot more lately!

Just several months ago I realized that my small plastic contact cases have a little recycling symbol on them.  It’s about a millimeter in size; no wonder I never saw it before.  Now I recycle them.  I also use my daily contacts for two days.  It helps me save money, and save contacts.

I started looking at other things, and look at all of these other symbols I’ve found.

Two #4 plastics, and one #2.  Here’s what the symbols were on:

A bag that grapes came in.

A blue Best Buy bag.  It even specifically says “Please reuse or recycle this bag.”  Nicely done, Best Buy.

And a bag of navel oranges!

Remember, avoid plastics 3,6, and 7.  If it’s plastic, look REALLY hard to find the plastic recycling symbol.  It’s probably there.

Speaking of green, check out the “hallway” of my gastroenerologist’s office:

There are even rain forest noises and fountains and stuff.  It’s crazy.
