1122, the magic number

Actually the magic number was really 1000. Natalie Leoganda and I have been taking in recyclying every week and sending the money to JOY hospice in Uganda. We have my mom's little Honda Civic to pack everything in, so there's not a lot of room to fit bottles. Usually we start with the trunk: drag bags of bottles out of Northwest and pack about five garbage bags into the trunk. We have to slam it closed. Then we drive to Robson and start packing the back seat, moving the front seats forward as far as they can go. We put about 10 garbage bags in there. Then Nat sits in the front seat and I load a bag or two onto her lap. Then I get in the car and we drive to the bottle depot. The only problem is being able to breathe with the smell of sour juice and rotten milk all around us, but we usually make it. Our goal has been to fit 1000 bottles in the car, and today we did it for the first time! Actually, 1122 bottles. (That's $58.00)
It's a ridiculous way to make money, really- but at least we're saving the environment one bottle at a time and saving humanity one pill at a time (the money all goes to buy medications.)
