LETS SAVE OUR PLANET!


Everyone must play a part in protecting the environment.
There are many things you can do your own every day to
Help save the planet. Here are some suggestions.
REDUCE!
Really, the best thing we can do for the planet is to use less of it. At
the Earth of the environmental crisis is our consumer society. Here are some questions you
can as yourself before buying something! "o #, or the other person # am buying this for,
really need this$ #s there another product which would do the same thing but more
sustainable$ %ill this last a long time$ "id # now how this item was made, how it will be
used and how it will be disposed of$
REUSE!
Regrettably, because we live in a &disposable society', we are encouraged to buy a new
&improved' item even if the one we have can be repaired. %hen we buy, we should buy items
which are durable, we should maintain them, and have them repaired when necessary. #f we
practice this, many things can not only last a life(time, but they can be passed along
generation to generation. #f something is truly unusable for its original proposes, try to be
more creative and thin of how else it might be used. %hen you)re done with it, thin of
whether someone else might be able to use it.
RECYCLE!
Rather than throwing an item out when neither you nor anyone else can mae use of it,
have it recycled. And while recycling is not perfect, it is better than sending goods to landfill
or having them incinerated.
*ind out what types of materials can be recycled in your area. +lean and sort the materials
before putting them out on the curb , often collectors will not pic up recycling that is mi-ed
or contains non(recyclables.
