1. Did you know that by composting you can offset the emissions from your car? Not to mention you'd be helping reduce the near 34 million tons of refuse that ends up in landfills every year!
2. We are the source of waste! Before you pick something off the shelf, imagine it as trash going to a landfull. Is it absolutely necessary?
3. Use recycled wood pallets to make a shelf, garden fence, coffee table, or even raised planting beds! Take a look around your office or neighborhood, they're everywhere!
4. If you switched from a paper cup to a reusable mug you'd be helping reduce 363 million pounds of solid waste caused by cups alone! Join the mug revolution! Some places will even give refill discounts!
5. Be part of the recycling loop! Purchase only items made from recycled materials. If you frequent a restaurant that isn't using compostable to-go items -- or isn't composting their food scraps at all -- let them know about EcoMovement's program!
