I was happy to see Fare, a new fast-casual restaurant serving healthy food, has opened in Downtown Oak Park. I was doubly happy to see they have set up their trash system in the most user-friendly way with bins for Trash, Recycle and Compost clearly labeled and in a row. I was disappointed to see a water bottle in the compost bin.
We all must do our part to educate ourselves about what is compostable, what can be recycled, and what should be sent to the landfill, and then follow through on these lessons.
We have one Earth, and I so appreciate when a business makes it easy for us to do our part. And yes, I fished out the bottle and put it in the right bin!
