Recycling is great, but anti-cycling is better. Stop things entering the cycle (which includes waterways, the air and landfill) by following these tips:
Use cloth handkerchiefs and napkins.- Take reusable shopping bags to the store with you.
- Buy in bulk and avoid individually wrapped items when possible.
- Stop unwanted junk mail through a free online service.
- Read magazines and newspapers online.
- Use the Internet to pay bills, correspond with business associates and stay in touch with friends.
- Organize to have your bank statements available online rather than sent via the post.
- Take a mug for filling at the coffee shop rather than using paper cups.
- Use washable cloth towels in the kitchen rather than paper towels.
- Take your own containers to restaurants if you want to carry leftovers home.
