Cubed copper at calgary metals. 3529 lbs. Wow. I wish that were mine.
Scrap is found in every enviroment of life. It is left over bits of matter or discarded things that were wanted or needed at some point, but for some reason or another the want or need for that thing ceased to exist. It may be because it lost its usefulness or maybe it was worn or stopped working or worse yet, it was just replaced with a new model. No matter what the Reason, I believe that Scrap is important and needs everyones help to become something new again.

I support Canadians
I bought a daffodil today to show my support for Canadians living with cancer.

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 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.
