224/365 Pop tabs

I've been collecting pop tabs for years, ever since the Ronald McDonald House started taking them for donations -- though the last time I actually saw a donation box was years ago.

Nevertheless, it feels completely wrong now to recycle a can with the tab still attached. I feel like I'm doing a disservice to the world or something.

So I collect the tabs, and hold on to the growing collection for years (it's been known to happen) until I find a teacher friend or school-age child who's collecting them at school. Then the cycle starts all over again.
