5 Green Tips from MetalWave and Green Alliance

This week’s tips come from MetalWave:

1. Buy quality products. If you get something likely to run down or wear out over time, such as an electronic component, give preference to the model that can be easily upgraded or scrapped for parts, so that you don't have to junk the whole thing if one part breaks.

2. Buy local -- it cuts down on transporation fuel, reduces our carbon footprint, and helps support local community by keeping money circulating!

3. Always recycle your cans! A used aluminum can be recycled and back on the grocery shelf in as little as 60 days. That's closed loop recycling at its finest!

4. Save water and time when recycling cans -- you no longer need to rinse them out or remove their labels.

5. Recycle worn-out rechargeable batteries like those used in cell phones, computers, or power tools. You can even drop them off at MetalWave!

Recycle your spent CFL bulbs, batteries, and cell phones for FREE with MetalWave at the GA's Party for the Planet, to be held April 20th from 6-10pm at Earthtec in Portsmouth!
