On Chocolate Zucchini Bread and plastics recycling

I was looking forward to the arrival of the season's first zucchini, so that I could use it in a batch of Chocolate Zucchini Bread.  This past weekend, I got that zucchini, whipped out my recipe, and set to work. 

In the process, I used the last of my baking cocoa.  Typically, I would have stood there in the kitchen, considering whether I had any possible uses for the empty cocoa container, generally decided that I already had more than enough empty plastic containers awaiting reuse, and then gently placed it into the trash. 

This time, I cheerfully rinsed the container and lid, and put them into my recycling bin (after taking this photograph for you!) for collection in our expanded plastics recycling program.  And, yes, the bread turned out well also.
