Reduce...
We support recycling, but we firmly believe in the
reduction of creating garbage and other waste products.  
When possible, please think about what you are buying.  
Do you really need this item?  If possible, avoid
purchasing bulky items or products that are in huge
amounts of wrapping.  

Reuse...
  • Pass magazines, books and catalogs on to
    neighbors, family members, nursing homes, etc.
  • Plastic containers can often be reused for storage
    of food and crafts.  
  • Reuse wrapping paper, plastic bags, and boxes.
  • Try to repair broken items before replacing them.  
  • Furniture can often be donated to charity if it's in
    decent shape.  
  • Clothing can be handed down to family members or
    donated to charity.  Even clothing that is in poor
    condition can be used for rags.  
  • Towels and bedding can often be reused by the
    Humane Society.
