KEEP IT SIMPLE !!!
In these times of economic uncertainty, depleted natural resources and global health issues it’s easy to be overwhelmed and do nothing.
However by taking ACTION and keeping it simple we can all affect the impact we have on the world.
By remembering and thinking the 3 R’S-Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-we can all save natural resources, energy and improve health and air quality.
Here’s how easy it can be:
1. Buy foods or products with less packaging or recyclable packaging. This will reduce the energy taken for production and disposal of packaging materials and save up to 230 lbs a year of toxic carbon dioxide production.
2. Have a garage sale, try Craig’s list or E-bay for those old items you don’t need anymore. Reusing products is even better than recycling because there is no energy wasted reprocessing and they can be used again and again—like cloth napkins!!
3. Each month add one new material to the things you already recycle for example how about car batteries, fast food containers, yarn, clothes. Recycling and using recycled materials can cut the energy used to produce new products up to 95%.
These changes and other small steps like them can create jobs, save our resources and improve our health.
KEEP IT SIMPLE, IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH!!!
