Summer recycle tip - Concentrate on the little things |

Summer recycle tip #3: Concentrate on the little things
As we become better recyclers we must remember the little things. Sometimes the littlest recyclables are the ones we forget about. For instance how many people remember to recycle the toilet paper or paper towel cores? Often, when it is time for a new roll we just toss the core in the trash but that is a recyclable item and should be placed in the recycling bin. It is just one of the little things that we don't think about when it comes to recycling.
Another item that can be recycled is post it notes. You use post it notes to remind you to run an errand or pay a bill but when that note has done its duty what do you do with it. Most times the answer would probably be crumble it up and toss it in the trash. But it is time to see that post it note as a piece of paper and paper is an item that can be recycled.
Those are just two of the little things we use in life that can be recycled. So the next time you are about to throw something in the trash, remember the little things count and if it is recyclable place it in the recycle bin not the trash can.
These are just a few helpful tips to help make your life a little greener. For more recycling tips, visit www.sanantonio.gov/swmd.

Mayor launches Fitness Council to transform San Antonio into healthier city |

Mayor launches Fitness Council to transform San Antonio into healthier city
Drawing experts from the fields of medicine, nutrition, fitness and professional athletics, Mayor Julián Castro convened a new panel Monday that will focus on reducing the city's obesity rate and promoting a healthier, more active community.
"We must act boldly to take San Antonio off the list of fattest cities in America and put it squarely on the road to becoming one of the fittest in the nation," said Mayor Castro.
Castro charged the Mayor's Fitness Council, which includes more than 30 community leaders representing a cross-section of the city, with looking at the intersection between quality of life issues and two of the city's most pressing medical challenges: obesity and diabetes.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than two-thirds of Bexar County residents are considered either overweight or obese. San Antonio's rate of diabetes is among the highest in the nation.
"We cannot afford to fail," said Castro. "These issues don't just impact individuals. They have a profoundly negative impact on children, spouses and our health care system."
