…And The Winner Of The Paying Forward A Random Act Of Kindness Giveaway Is…

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I am happy to announce that Jason of The Devoted Dad is the recipient of a $20 Wal-Mart e-gift card as the winner of the Paying Forward A Random Act Of Kindness Giveaway!

Although the winner was chosen through the use of Random.org, I would like to repost his comment here:

This is a great way to keep it going! I love the pay it forward idea. I’ve waited all day to post about this because I wanted to give it some thought. The idea that I came up with was to have my 3 year old go to Walmart and look for gifts to place in the local giving tree at the hospital for a child in need of a christmas gift.

As a father, I worry a great deal about the sheer volume of waste that my family and I produce. We dilligently sort the recyclables from the normal trash. Luckily for us, the recycling bin at the apartment is comingled, so we don’t have to separate the glass from the paper, etc.

But what do you do when it can’t be recycled?

Today I was happy to find the blog ‘Riding With No Hands‘, a review site of, well, near as I can tell, everything!
