Karen Neder wants your squeezed-out toothpaste tubes, your used-up glue sticks, and your old water filters. By pick-up, drive-by or drop off, she’ll take it all. Neder, of Rock Island, has been collecting what most would consider to be garbage from the bathroom, office and kitchen, and turning it into cash to support Blessed Beginnings Preschool at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1330 13th St., Moline. Neder says that with help from the Trinity Lutheran congregation, the collection efforts have raised more than $800 for the preschool and diverted 1,000 pounds of potential waste from landfills since 2014.

I have the same routine just about every morning. I wake up before my kids and get myself ready for the day. Then I start breakfast and wake my kids up. While they eat we read scriptures as a family, I do my daughter’s hair, and then they go finish getting ready. As they are getting ready, I pack my son’s lunch. Next, they grab coats, and we are out the door. The morning goes pretty smoothly but sometimes packing my son’s lunch can be so tricky. I can get stuck packing the same old lunches and snacks for him. I want to make sure I am adding things to his lunchbox that he will love and that also keep him full throughout the day. Entenmann’s® Little Bites® are one of our favorite lunchbox staples.

The fourth rule for living the wasteless life is to recycle. Recycling is not a solution to mass over-consumption, but where possible, it is preferable to use things that can be recycled effectively than not.
