Today, I am going to share with you 8 ways you can recycle, reduce, and reuse. Concentrated products often require less packaging, resulting in less energy to transport it to the store and less plastic to recycle. Reuse what you can. We also save containers from items and reuse them for storage at a later time.

I've tried multiple brands, but I really like Bite , because they work much better than others, taste better, and come in glass bottles that can be recycled or reused. I don't want to find that all my makeup melted off halfway through a 12-hour bout of sightseeing where I'm taking public transport.

Do they recycle? Do they use recycled products? This saves on packaging as well as transportation because larger amounts can be shipped in one load. If there are organizations near you that are fundraising for a greener cause, participate in it. Support your local organic farmers. Recycle, recycle, recycle.

Reduce your dependence on fossil fuels by driving less and using public transport or walking; reduce your energy consumption by turning off lights to empty rooms and appliances at the wall; choose energy-efficient appliances and alternative power sources; change to CFL light bulbs. Keep take-out as an occasional treat.

Pay attention to expiration dates by organizing your pantry and freezer so that the oldest food is in front. If you can’t afford a car, use public transportation. A good deal on a big bag of fresh lettuce isn’t thrifty if you can’t use it up before it rots. Store food properly to make it last as long as possible.

Those machines use plastic coffee pods that are often labeled as being recyclable – but only if you fully wash them out, take them apart, and separate all the pieces… which we know no one is doing. These are no more green than just recycling that pile of paper. Organic cotton disposables from Huggies. Reuse and repurpose.
