Recycling is on top of the list for everyone who is sensitive to the climate change and environmental sustainability issues.
It not only to save the energy which would have otherwise been spent in the creation of a new product but also saves a lot of money when materials are recycled and reused. But you often hear about how it is just most convenient to throw things away instead of spending time and energy on recycling; and some people argue that an individual, recycling things at homewould hardly make a difference to the environment.
Let’s start by putting that to rest! Every individual counts!.
There is no a reason why everyone can’t get into recycling things at home.
It is simple enough to do and does not require a huge time commitment either.
Here are 4 quick tips that can make anyone into a recycling pro:
1. Paper and plastic bags
If you have plastic bags around then you can use them to line your dustbin. Paper bags or plastic bags can be reused to carry your lunch and can be taken for grocery shopping.
2. Reduce and reuse
You can switch small things and habits to become more sustainable. Examples – Carry a ceramic mug for your tea or coffee at work instead of using a paper cup.
A cloth napkin kept in your bag will save several paper tissues that you might need during the day. Food bought in bulk and saved will save in packaging material for lesser quantities.
3. A compost
If you have a garden area, you can create a compost to heap and put food scraps and peels into it. The decomposed food gives you great quality soil which can be used right back in your garden.
