A small act of recycling

No, I am not giving free advertisement space to Coca Cola. I went out dinner with a friend and then we bought these two cans of coke after a hearty meal and then we went to the seaside to enjoy the breeze and the thrill of watching incoming aeroplanes flying over us just before they landed on the airport runway next to where we were. My friend was about to throw these into the garbage bin when I told her to give me the empty cans as I would like to recycle them. Although she gave me a skeptical look, she was supportive of my intention and even got me a plastic bag to keep them in.

In the past, I had always thrown used cans away into the garbage bin wherever I might be but having written so much to date on recycling, these cans have become more than trash to me. I now feel that dumping them along with the garbage would be a real waste as this is good metal that can become something useful again. On reflection, I do not think that I would ever have brought the cans home had it not been for all the writing on this blog. Saving two cans of coke from the incinerator was my good deed for today.
