As the holidays are approaching, try to keep your celebrations environmentally-friendly by remembering your three Rs:
REDUCE– Reduce the amount of waste you produce by buying only as much as you need and choosing products that come in packaging that can be recycled.
REUSE– Use cloth napkins that can be washed and used again, and carry reusable bags when you do your shopping. If you use plastic grocery bags, re-purpose them for other uses around your home or office.
RECYCLE– Recycle paper, and all plastic and aluminum containers you may use this holiday season. If you don’t already have a compost bin, use your holiday fruit and vegetable trimmings to start one. The compost will enrich your garden next spring!
On November 15th, be sure to participate in America Recycles Day! Visit https://americarecyclesday.org to learn more and to take the America Recycles Day pledge. Encourage those in your office to do the same!
