19	Shelley Piraino	I have a huge stack of statements and such- -I'm going through and finding each opt-out phone number and address so I can cut down on all this junk mail. I'm guessing I've taken 20 lbs. of shredded junk out of the home office today!
18	Steve Jones	I always carry a ceramic coffee cup in the car so refills don't create another cup in the trash.
17	Kaiser Realty, Inc.	Commercial recycling is not yet available, so we collect and take our own. Contact your solid waste provider and tell them you want commercial recycling! If we bug them enough we might get it!

14	Lanier Maudlin	I go to the beach about once a week taking a bag to pick up glass bottles, cans, and any trash that does not belong there while I am there. If all of us that reside in Gulf Shores would commit to this, how much more beautiful our beach would be.
