Reducing & Reusing
Reducing and reusing are becoming more important each day as our earth’s population and its trash are growing.
You can reduce the amount of waste you create in many ways, such as buying items in bulk with less packaging, and buying products whose life cycles create less waste.
Reusing is also important. There are some things that can’t be reused, but many items can be—whether it’s something small like plastic bags, boxes, and paper, or larger items.
Some items can also be reused by others. You can donate your old, unwanted, or out-of-season clothes, furniture, games, electronics, and other items to charity organizations. You’ll feel good about helping the environment by preventing the creation of waste, while also helping those less fortunate. Or, you can sell your unwanted items to people from all over the world via the Internet or through local consignment shops. Keep in mind... one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
Our helpful links will give you more ideas of ways you can reduce and reuse as part of your lifestyle.
