Recycling Tips

Recycle At Home

Recycling at home is an easy and extremely impactful step to Live Green. For example, recycling one aluminum soda can saves 96% of the energy used to make a can from ore, and produces 95% less air pollution and 97% less water pollution.

Reuse Water Bottles

With plastic not being biodegradable, unless properly recycled, millions of water bottles end up left in landfills or waterways. By regularly washing plastic water bottles, they can be reused and refilled with filtered water straight from the tap, cutting down on waste.

Grocery Shop In An Eco-Friendly Way

Between 500 billion and a trillion plastic grocery bags are consumed worldwide every year. A growing trend in Living Green is the use of eco-friendly grocery bags. These bags are usually larger than the ordinary plastic grocery bag, and they can be reused over and over again. Reducing waste and pollution are two important consequences of using eco-friendly grocery bags, and it’s another easy step towards Living Green.

Lose The Disposable Coffee Filters

Reusable coffee filters serve the same purpose as paper filters, and only need to be cleaned out between uses. The reduction in environmental impact is huge, and so is the impact on your time and money. This quick and easy fix can make an impactful contribution in decreasing the amount of household waste thrown away every year.
