Finally getting to see Dame Ellen MacArthur in person!

I made $25 plus tip working for DoorDash last night, i.e. I picked up my own food!

When your #recycling #dropoff was closed last Saturday and you were out of town the 2 weekends before. #drpepper

My drop-off used to only have 2 bins for corrugate. They added a 3rd a few years ago, and now they’re up to 4! This shows the growth of both e-commerce and recycling. #lovemydropoff

It’s funny how you never see soy growing in a corn field, but you always see corn growing in a soy field. Be corn 🌽!

I did a thing today

I’m working for a world where drink cups are widely #recyclable.

Friendly reminder not to recycle tree branches!

Get ready for a very Berry #EarthDay! 🤣

My recycling drop-off started accepting #BulkyRigids! This is undoubtedly driven by the strong demand/pricing we’re currently seeing. #Demand drives markets! And bulky containers are more valuable in a weight-based system.

If you’re like me, when you think #girlscoutcookies, you think #recycling. Great job on recycling all these boxes!

10 years ago today, I quit drinking alcohol. My wife was pregnant with our first child, and I knew that to be the best father I could be, I should give it up. There is a stigma to not drinking. After 10yrs, I am ready to destigmatize it.

Happy #MLKDay! I have mostly focused on environmental issues, but as #MLK said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We therefore cannot ignore social issues while championing environmental ones.

Just got the contract signed for something I have been trying to get done for 5+ years! I’m already on pins and needles! #perseverance #dedication #passionproject

I was today years old when I learned pistachios were green. #colorblind

I’m having more and more meetings where there are multiple female participants and I’m the only male. There are still strides to be made, but feels like progress. #diversity

Very excited to have finished paying off my car! Today, I publically commit that if I purchase another car, it will be all-electric or otherwise zero emission.

Great to attend virtual #IRCconf2020 where @davidranalli and @INRecycling made recycling magic!

My drop-off finally reopened today! I typically take recycling in once per month. The last time was 2 weeks before quarantine started… It was driving my wife nuts as it kept taking over more and more of the garage. I had to nest similar products to make room.

I’m really looking forward to this webinar and finally getting to see the launch of CircularityInAction.com.
