Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Looking for a quick way to make a difference? Reduce your trash. Sound hard? It's not. You would be amazed how easy it can be. Check out these quick ways to reduce the trash you produce. Thanks for reading, Your Living Green editor Buy more! It's true. Choose bigger sizes - they offer more products with less packaging. One of the best ways to do this is to buy in bulk from one of those warehouse stores. You'll often find items that have less packaging and therefore have less trash when you are done using them. It can also save you money! * Use re-usable bags. Keeping re-usable bags in your car so they are there when you need them can help you to re- place the plastic and paper bags you get whenever you go to a store. Shoppers use over 40 million bags a year. * Give items away. When you are done with items, give them to charity or to friends.. Books, sporting goods, toys, clothing and furniture are always needed by non-profit groups. * Save jars and bottles for reuse. * Use reusable dinnerware. Reducing the amount of paper and plastic tableware you use can greatly reduce the amount of trash you have in a week. * Use a Composter to reduce the amount of biodegradable trash, the compost you make can help your lawn and garden look great! * Quit smoking. The amount of trash that is produced from smoking is a quick way to reduce the trash you produce. * Recycle. Find out what can be recycled in your area. Be sure to remember to find places to recycle printer cartridges, cell phones, as well as the usual suspects (news- papers, plastics, and cans). Goddess Bless!
