When RE is the only way to go!?
REcycle, REuse, REfill, REthink!?
Every time you have to throw something away, ask yourself if there couldn’t be another use for the object.
Here in Quebec we’ve been recycling, paper, cardboard, glass and tin for a long time. Bottles have been refundable since before I was born, and cans and plastic, not long after. We have a truck that comes by for REcycling, just like the garbage truck, but once a week. So we have two bins. Our garbage bag is only full once every two visits from the garbage truck.
A lot of people here also compost. We haven’t started yet, but once we move, I want to start. And I want to get a barrel to collect rain water. That way we can water the flowers and garden with it.
We even REcycle paint. We have a company that creates paint from all the REcycled paint cans. They even REcycle the cans.
Clothes, toys, glasses, wood, electronics, bicycles, and the list goes on. You can even bring in your used books. They might not give you much for them, but add it all up. And someone will be able to get that book, at a lower price.
Use REchhargeable batteries when possible. Think of others before throwing something away. Take the time, make the time to bring it in, your medications, batteries, anything REcyclable.
Please think, and REthink. And please plant! A tree, a plant, flowers, just plant!
Have fun!?
