[This announcement is posted at the request of the City of Portland. Charlie]
The City of Portland is starting a new recycling program!
The City of Portland, in conjunction with QRS Recycling, is starting a new commercial single stream recycling program. With this form of recycling, city residents will be able to put all varieties of recyclables in one container with NO SORTING! We will start with three initial drop-off sites in the city and expand as the need arises.
Here is a basic list of what can go in the recycling dumpster:
• Cardboard
• Paper / newspaper / soft-covered books
• 1-7 Plastics (no plastic film or bubble wrap)
• Aluminum Cans
• Tin Cans
• NO GLASS
The three drop-off sites will be located at:
1. City of Portland maintenance shops on Morningside Drive.
2. Public safety building on North Broadway.
3. H.G. Hills parking lot.
The City of Portland is very excited about starting a recycling program for the community. Please be considerate and put only the listed recyclables in the containers, and please keep the area free of trash and debris. Thank you.
Note: The bins are supposed to be in place beginning December 23, 2008.

I know the blog is slow right now, but this is a topic that is truly hitting home with many.

I for one am absolutely stunned by an article that I just read regarding the newest bail out funds for the Auto Industry.
"General Motors to Invest $1 Billion in Brazil Operations -- Money to Come from U.S. Rescue Program"

To many, the Holidays represent a time of giving, to family, friends, co-workers, neighbors etc. a festive and joyous time. To others it is a difficult and troubling time, not only unable to give, but in need of a helping hand. Little Girls who will go without that Barbie Doll, a little boy with no toy truck, a baby without warm clothing. A family without a hot meal or a warm bed to sleep in. This happens right here in our own community. These are difficult situations, I'm sure with the economy as it is today there will be a much larger need. Where do they go for help? What can the community do? What steps would one need to take if they were in this situation? And what should they expect to encounter?
