I work to support my son. My son hates vegetables.  I like vegetables. I am teaching my son how to recycle. My son wants to throw everything away. I am a bookkeeper. My son is becoming more independent. I appreciate that my son is becoming environmentally conscious.  I grow vegetables. I want to grow carrots, corn, peas, and broccoli. I watch movies and TV. I am interested in volunteering for an environmentally friendly organization. I like multitasking.
I am a workaholic.  I am tired. I am 26 years old.  I have debt. I have a job as a software developer. I prefer meat over vegetables. I teach my son about recycling. I am concerned about the environment. I don't eat vegetables often. I want to plant strawberries, blueberries, and herbs. I have a son. I could do this with my son. I work first shift. I am off nights and weekends. I like to be busy. My son and I collect recyclable bottles and cans and donate the refunds to charity. I like to reuse and recycle things. I am a programmer. I don't enjoy my job. I like to do fun things when I'm not working.
I found a great non-profit in my town that eliminates invasive weeds from trails, I'm going to start doing volunteer work with them tomorrow! That's very exciting! Do. you think your son will volunteer with you? I had to poke and prod him a little bit to do it, but yes, he's coming with me tomorrow. I think he'll actually enjoy it when he actually starts doing it. It will be good for him to learn about the invasive side of conservation. Being environmentally conscious is actually a very broad topic. Has he had any education on invasive plants before? No, I don't think so. We have talked about the importance of the propagation of local species and their importance on the ecosystem, though. I think having some hands on experience will be very educational for him. How's your recycling going with your son? Like with your son we're making progress and learning along the way. While he realizes that it's easier to just throw things in the trash, I've been trying to educate him on how easy is not always right.  Sometimes it's just hard to get kids to actually use the trashcan. Using the recycling container just seems insurmountable sometimes. LOL! I understand completely. I've tried to make it a game about sorting the recyclables into their correct containers, but he's getting too old to be fooled by games like this, lol! I'll bet. They catch on so fast - good and bad. lol! So how old is your little guy these days? He's seven years old and definitely feeling all grown up :) It's crazy how fast it goes. One moment they're in diapers and the next they see right through your "games", haha! How old is your son now? He's at the perfect age, though. OId enough to be out of diapers and able to do some things on his own, but not so old that he's become a know-it-all teenager who thinks his parents are idiots. lol! That's true! But I'm sure those days are right around the corner! For now we'll keep working on recycling. I definitely not ready for some of the coming teenage challenges!
