So I’m officially launching a new project and picking up a lost habit = recycling. Getting this idea from a blog I came across recently, The Found Money Jar, I will recycle plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and glass bottles. At the end of each week I will organize what I have collected into the 3 specified categories, and take them to the neighborhood recycling center for cash. I will start a new cash fund, labeled “Recycling to Riches”, and track its progress. I will put all the funds collected from recycling towards investments in the stock market or towards a mutual fund. Once I collect enough funds to invest with, I will also track those results here on the blog. I look to only spend a couple hours a week on this project, and its way to not only save some cash and put it towards an investment, but also to do my part in the community. Working part time at a gym and drinking Sobe daily also makes more sense for me to recycle.
So far today, just walking around the house and cleaning out my car, I have collected the following:
- Plastic Bottles: 4
- Aluminum Cans: 4
- Glass Bottles: 2
Once I cash in my first batch of recycling, I will post the earnings here, and track the progress of the investments.

This is very relevant towards my artwork which should influence people to take into consideration the effects of simple actions, such as picking up a bottle and recycling it…
