walk blog 12

So I have been walking for well over a year now.

I am trying to walk on every street 

on the Hamilton Mountain. 

I am hoping that I will have 

completed that goal by September.

When I walk 

I try to go out on the recycling day 

of each particular neighbourhood. 

The reason is so that I can discreetly pilfer through

the recycling bins and find really good containers 

to be handed out a workshop that I host 

called 'The Soap Kitchen'.

I look for particular types of containers 

that will be suitable for handing out 

large amounts of the laundry soap 

that we make at the workshops.

Bigger containers - clear, wide mouth, sturdy plastic, good lid,

easy to clean and with a handle are the best ones.

But even smaller containers can be used 

for the sample sizes that I give to

Neighbour to Neighbour to hand out to their clients

with a tag on it to promote the next workshop.

Yesterday I was out on the West Mountain 

by Garth and the Linc 

and walking past a recycling bin 

I spotted this container.

One of my promotional samples was used and then

the empty container was put in the recycling bin.

This made my day.

To think that something I randomly gave 

made its way back to me 

seems fascinating.

I retrieved it and will be using it again.

Talk about being the 'queen of recycling'

I am at least a princess.
