We recycle newspapers, cans, glass/plastic bottles (our town has a special bin for each house with a designated day – so there is no excuse).

I agree with Meg G. above. Our family does many of the same practices as her family. We have so many reusable grocery bags for shopping. No paper towels in this house. Rags, rags and more rags. We recycle everything we can. Usually more recycling than trash for us. We use green products and support the local shops and farms and farmers. My husband rides his bike as much as he can to work and I walk my son to camp. We try not to use the A/C or the heater, if we can hold out. There is so much more but it’s time to clean!

Our family recycles everything we can. We also buy products that are in recyclable containers to help reduce waste. We don’t use paper plates or napkins. When we go out (like Chickfila) we take home the plastic milk jugs to recycle.

I forgot to say that when we took out our trash cans this morning for pick up, our recycle one was full and our trash one only had two Walmart bags full of trash!

We use cloth diapers, eat grass fed/certified humane/local meat, and buy organic produce.

Our family does its part by recycling our water from the washer. We use earth friendly detergent. My husband connected the tube from the washer to outside and the water collects in a big trash can. We then use a water pump and have it connected to the hose. So when the trash can fills up we connect the pump and start watering our lawn and plants (non edible) . Not only to we use the same water twice (washing and watering the garden) and save gallons of water, but we save on our watering bill . That is just one way we help recycle :)
