Reduce Waste
How much waste do YOU contribute to landfill every year? Our community instituted a two-bag limit per week on garbage, as well as an excellent composting and recycling program. I have found that most of our waste goes in the composter or the recycle box, and I usually put out only one bag of actual garbage per week. I am working to reduce this to even less. Do your part - help our environment by reducing your waste output.
- When you buy, look for less packaging. Buy in bulk when possible and re-use your containers
- Think before you throw out - can it be fixed? Even if you don't know how to fix it, someone else may. Put it in your next yard sale for 5 cents! Some people love to tinker around with broken appliances.
