since there's nothing much going on, i thought i'd post this up. i know about some of these stuff already, from reading jamie's blog, but some of these really surprised me! O_O it's informative, but a fun read too... (i guess some things could be exagerrated. don't take it too seriously.) also, i thought i'd share jamie's post about their kind of strange trash rules.

We have to pay to recycle, we don't get paid for it. :-P So much for protecting the earth! Plus we live WAAAAAAY out in the country, so we don't get the same types of facilities and services that big cities do. We actually weren't even sure there would be trash pickup! When we lived in a city, we had recycling. And we did so whenever we could.
