How about the majority use commonsense? 1) use washing machine water to water lawns, and gardens. 2) use peels from fruits and vegetables to make fertilizer 3) for those of us who like to fish, make your own worm bed and use coffee grounds to enrich the soil $) instead of buying high priced cleaning products, make your own that are environmentally friendly...eg. Hints from Heloise .My name is Lizzy not Heloise and one of my favorites%26quot; The Queen of Clean %26quot;. There are many things right around our homes that we can use and be kind to our environment. eg: water and white vinegar for washing windows, light foam from shaving cream to spot clean rugs, ask that your groceries be put into paper sacks instead of plastic; these paper sacks can be used for kids to decorate and wrap packages, put kindling wood in for starting your fireplace or wood stove. These are just a very few of the simple things we can do with very little effort and also practice living green. Do you have any good tips ? I%26#039;d like to hear them and share mine. Thanks ya%26#039;ll and have a great day. the world of experiance and tips from nice people 0% 0 Votes

It%26#039;s much more expensive to recycle, in terms of money spent, energy expended and storage/reuse. It%26#039;s much easier and efficient to just bury your garbage, because not everyone wants someone else%26#039;s trash to be their treasure. 14% 1 Vote

I have recycled almost everything, one con is that it takes up a lot of space. Another is the low pay for non CRV glass which takes up a lot of space. News paper can be a fire hazard with not much pay for a ton. Hope this helps. Judy 14% 1 Vote
