Okay what’s the first thing you think of when someone says “the 3 R’s”.  If your silly little mind is still stuck in the 20th century it would be saying reading, riting, and rithmatic.  Now in the 21st century, we now actually know that the 3 R’s are grammatically incorrect AND who really cares about all that reading crap.  {to all you lit teachers out there you should know that I am JOKING!}  To get anywhere in this life you need to know the 3 R’s, but what I need to start learning is how not to get so far off track!!!!

Anyways, nowadays you need to know that the 21st century 3 R’s are {repeat after me} REDUCE, REUSE, and RECYCLE!!!!!  As most of you should know is that on March 28th may I repeat MARCH 28, at 8:30, there will be an Earth Hour.  At 8:30 all of you should turn off your T.V’s, radio, small kitchen appliances, whatever that uses electricity, for an hour.  Or until 9:30, which ever you prefer.  Ok, Ok, your probably yelling at your computers saying “Than what the heck should we do for an hour.”  Well don’t ask me!!!  Plus if their is an episode of NCIS that is on, I probably won’t even do the Earth Hour.  My motto, NCIS is always first!

But now I’ll get to the real question.  How do I use the 21st century 3 R’s in my life.  Well some of you may not know, but I live in practically the Hippy town of America, Eugene.  Well actually I don’t live IN Eugene, but close enough!  Here, it seems like wherever you take a step, some Hippy is yelling at you because you put your paper plate in the wrong trash bin on accident.  {P.S- this actually has happened to me before!}  But in my house we have stepped up on our usage and recycling methods.  We have two garbage bins.  The green one for garbage and the blue one for recycling stuff.  Now just in the last couple of months, my dad has officially been called the Recycling Nazi.  At his work, they have a place where you can now recycle those plastic cover things you get on a new DVD and stuff like that.  So now if we throw away any of that plastic stuff, my dad freaks.  Ok so he doesn’t freak, he just takes it out of the trash and puts it in his “special bag.”  But all in all, I think I’m pretty good about recycling and I plan on doing it for many years more.  Or at least until we find some cool ways to just burn it all without the EPA freaking out.

Until next post, I bid you all a good day!
