The wicker basket looks good as new, showing few IN TODAY'S MARKET, signs of wear despite the count- less loads of laundry it's held. Fisher also has done away with plastic wraps, sealing things in- stead in plastic containers that can be used again and again. "Recycling is not hard to do, it just takes time to get into the habit." she said. Fisher never spends a dime on room fresheners or the like. Sim- ply lighting a candle removes nasty ' odors. "Candles remove the scent so you don't have to use-sprays." -. She also never sends pollutants down the drains. Her trusty rub- berplunger solves problems when they occur in drains. Further, she uses a mixture of one cup of bak- SHOULD BEIN ing soda and a cup of white wine vinegar to keep drains open. "These things have become habits and normal, and nobody laughs anymore.'' she said. In her spare time at home, she cuts the plastic off the plastic window en- velopes while watching TV.

At that time the waters were relatively untested as far as what the job entailed. "I had to find markets to recycle more items" and to try to make people more aware of how recycling would S t o p b y D i m e S e c u r i t i e s t o d a y f o r a fr e e f i n a n ci a I r e v i e w. work.
