Long Burn

Milk carton video

I decided to try out the 'upload video' feature of blogger with a demonstration of how to fold a milk carton.

Recycling takes me back to my youth when some Saturdays the merry Scouts of Troop 246 would man the Owatonna Recycling Center to earn money for summer camp. We would pack semi trailers with newspaper, cans, aluminum and barrels of crushed glass, clear and colored. There was no shortage of fun: building a fort in the paper trailer on a slow afternoon and having a newspaper fight, running the can crusher or God help us the homemade motorized glass smasher, climbing the piles of gravel the county kept nearby, walking over to the golden arches for lunch. You can learn a lot by sorting through with what people throw out.
