Recycling What?


I maintain a few blogs, each with a specific focus or interest. I'm not one of those people who hosts a ton of them for profit or anything like that, but I found that I was digressing from my topic in my original blog, so I added a couple more. You might have noticed the ads from Google along the sides of my blogs, or you might not have, since many of us tune those out automatically. I pay more attention to them than most people since I'm ultimately responsible for whatever shows up on my pages.

Last week I wrote a post on my Organizational Management for Moms blog about recycling, yea! Recycling is good for the Earth, good for you, and, as I pointed out in the post, good for your wallet. Nothing but love, happiness and warm fuzzies, right? Well, fuzzy was right! Imagine my shock when I see... Beaver Recycling! Could it be that someone, somewhere is not only dispatching beavers, but recycling them? As a dedicated fan of the now-defunct Nickelodeon cartoon The Angry Beavers, all I could think of was Daggett saying, "That was nuts!"

It turns out that Beaver Recycling is the name of a large scrap metal recycling facility in South Florida. In fact, they look like a state-of-the-art recycling facility, and probably do a lot of good for the Earth, the environment, and ultimately, beavers. But from now on, I'm definitely watching those ads more closely. What's next? Turtle wax?
