My neighbour isn’t very good with his recycling. Each week he only recycles one or two wine bottles. We are far more environmentally friendly, recycling a case of champagne a few bottles of gin and a dozen wine bottles. Sometimes I think he’s just not caring for the planet like we are.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
