Recycling Ideas
• Take clothing, shoes, and purses to the local Salvation Army or Goodwill stores.
• Sell your books back to the bookstore after you have read them.
• Teach your kids the importance about recycling.
• Have wicker or plastic bins set up to put your paper, plastic, glass and aluminum in.
• Recycle your rainwater.
• Use a canvas tote to put your groceries in from the store.
• Use less water. In one day, the average person uses up to 183 gallons of water for drinking, cooking, bathing, flushing, and watering plants.
• Try wrapping some packages with yesterday’s news. Try the funny pages for a kids birthday, or even an old map.
• Call 1-800-CLEANUP for information about recycling in your community.
*Natural and Sustainable Living Tip: To fix a slow dran, try this homemade remedy: pour 1/2 cup baking soda, followed by 1/2 cup white vinegar down the drain. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then add 2 quarts boiling water. And kiss your toxic cleaners goodbye.
