Why reduce / reuse / recycle?

When we use less virgin material from the earth the less trees that have to be cut down or the less earth that has to be mined (which reduces pollution).

Recycle / Compost

• This should be obvious but recycle as much as you can: glass / bottles, metals / cans, paper, plastic
• Recycle your ink cartridges at places like Staples to get a 3 dollar voucher
• Recycle electronics at specified drop off point.  There are many sites in Asia where the people and animals die or get sick because electronic parts are dumped in or near rivers.
• Recycle motor oil at designated facilities – its the law!
• Compost most of what you don't recycle: yard waste, pizza boxes (putting these with recycling does harm), non bone based food, paper with food on it, pure cotton cloth with no buttons, etc

BUY 100% RECYCLED PAPER, NAPKINS, PLATES, CANS, ETC.
