Reuse containers whenever possible.
- We can’t throw things “out” - we can only move them around.
- Before throwing anything into the garbage, consider its possible alternative uses.
- Here are some examples of simple ways to reduce:
- Use plastic containers for household and garden plants.
- Use bread and produce bags for leftovers and to pack lunch.
- Use twisty ties for securing garden plants to stakes.
- Especially reuse those items that cannot be recycled in your area.
- Fill up used containers at bulk-stations found in grocery stores, pet stores, etc.
- Check out AltUse.com to learn alternative uses for almost anything.
· You can save money by reusing things you would otherwise throw away.
· Almost 1/3 of the waste generated the U.S. is packaging.
· Only about one-tenth of all solid garbage in the United States gets recycled.
· Even recycling takes up energy and resources. By re-using something as much as we can means that goods are only recycled when they can be used no longer.
