Especially given that I\u2019m the first one to head down to the party store to buy glittery things when there\u2019s something to celebrate. I love colored foil. Love. And I don\u2019t know what to do about it.

Why is it no longer necessary to flatten your cans and take the labels off? What\u2019s life like for the sorters at the materials recovery facilities? Why after decades of training us to sort, they now tell us to throw it all into the same bin? Why do we Oregonians separate out our glass while in California they don\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>I know how you\u2019ve been feeling &#8212; just like that guy in Rebel Without a Cause &#8212; and I\u2019m going to fix it.
