More and more

More and more I see a need for us all to adapt a minimalist approach to living. Less is more. The less I have, the better I feel. I feel that as I learn to love myself a little more with each passing day that I find less of a desire to search outside myself for love. I used to think I could find love outside myself through people and material things. I was terribly wrong. Now I give more love to others and my environment. If I meet a person that is lacking in inner love, I try to help if they are willing to listen but I am aware not to allow my love to be mined as a natural resource for wasteful consumption.

I was thinking

If people did not have such a ferocious ever growing appetite to consume more than they needed,  and if manufactures could just maybe start building products with intention the world could have a chance to save our fading planet.

A few thoughts on the prairies

I was knocked back. Way back when I found that scrap buyers in Saskatchewan and all the way up to and including medicine hat payed very little for scrap. When I asked why I was told that it cost more to transport the steel to the end user. However; these Province's were doing their part to recycle general waste from commercial and residential source but had similar needs for waxed card board and food waste.

Calgary is huge

A whopping 1.2 million people. Wow.

Calgary now

To busy scraping to post the last few days. Sorry. No luck in Saskatchewan and Manitoba mainly because buying prices to low. 35.00 to 60.00 a ton. I know!!! Wow. Crazy low. So I drove right to Calgary from thunder bay

Try as i may

Try as I may I have not been able to get any scrap donated from Walmart or home depots.

Did well scrapping today

I received some scrap today from Michael's and Canadian tire in Thunder Bay. I would like to thank the two managers  ( James from C.T. and I am sorry for forgetting the managers name at Michael's )  for their generosity. It made a great big difference in a good way toward my scrapping initiative expenses. Everyone in thunder bay have  been so so helpful. What a nice city. I look forward to returning some day.

A longer stay in thunder bay

Ya you may have guessed it. I am staying just a little longer in this nice town. It snowed on Sunday morning so I decided not to drive the highway. I took a walk about instead and low and behold I found some more scrap to save. I had to wait till Monday to retrieve it because most stores where closed yesterday for the celebration of Jesus's recycling.
