Easy ways to reduce landfill

Easy ways to reduce landfill

A few simple ideas for a great new years resolution.

1. Instead of throwing old clothes away, donate them to charity.
Find out which charities take clothes that are in too bad shape to re-sell, some charities make money from selling old material which is then re-used for other purposes.

2. Load your old books to friends or sell them for charity.

3. Buy rechargeable batteries, you will saves money in the long run.

4. Instead of using plastic carrier bags, buy cloth bags or ask for paper, paper is far more recyclable.

5. Invest in a composter and see you garden grow.

6. Tell your friends what you are doing and spread the world.
Before putting anything in the main garbage – consider first if it can be recycled.

7. Understand the recycling service your local garbage collectors have.

8 Stop purchasing overly packaged foods, there is no good reason for frozen dinners to be double packed or for vegetables to come in plastic containers. LET US FORCE FOOD SUPPLIERS TO CHANGE THEIR EARTH DAMAGING STUPID MARKETING B.S. PACKAGING WAYS BY ONLY PURCHASING PRODUCTS THAT DEMONSTRATE THAT THE SUPPLIERS ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THIS PLANET. AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WILL BE YOU THAT IS PAYING FOR THE FANCY PACKAGING AS PART OF THE PRICE ANYWAY!
