Better yet, switch to reusable glass or metal drinking bottles and skip the plastic bottles all together. Recycle Bins: Create designated holding "bins" for each type of recycled product and place in convenient locations in your home/garage Recycle Produce Labels: Fruit and vegetable labels can be recycled by sticking them on a recycleable plastic container. Help Launch Sustainable Packaging!: As a customer, you have enormous power to help launch the sustainable packaging movement. Recycling CDs and DVDs: Several CD, DVD (and Hard Drive) recycling centers are now available. Recycled Content: Ask your local retailers to stock more products made from recycled materials and buy products made from the highest recycled content whenever possible. Green Paper: When purchasing paper products (toilet paper, etc,), look for paper that has been recycled using a minimum of 50% post-consumer waste. Composting: Start a compost pile with yard trimmings and food scraps. Compostable Produce Labels: Encourage your local health food store to switch to laser tattoos, dissovable labels or compostable labels. Washed up fishing vessel on West Island.

Thought for the Day ECM Cocos Islands Golf Open 12th - 19th September 2017 Make today ridiculously amazing. Congratulations to the players and winners of the 2017 ECM Cocos Islands Open Joke of the Week A guy is 86 years old and loves to fish. He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, "Pick me up." He looked around and couldn't see any one. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again, "Pick me up." He looked in the water and there, floating on the top was a frog. The man said, "Are you talking to me?" The frog said, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up. Then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because you will have me as your bride." The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front breast pocket. Then the frog said, "What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride." He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, "Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog."
