Answer 1

The best place to start making a difference is right in your own home. Learn how you can reduce, reuse, and recycle materials to decrease household waste. The tips below will help you get started.

LAWN & GARDEN

• Use food scraps, yard trimmings, and other organic wastes to create a compost pile. Adding the compost you make to soil increases water retention, decreases erosion, and keeps organic materials out of landfills.  

• Raise the cutting height of your lawnmower during hot summer months to keep grassroots shaded and cooler, reducing weed growth, browning, and the need for watering.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

• Use insulation made from recycled paper, glass, and other recovered materials.
• Clean and properly store tools, toys, and outdoor furniture to protect them from damage and keep them out of

LANDFILLS MOVING & CLEANING

• Have a yard sale to find homes for clothes, toys, appliances, and books that you no longer need.
• When moving, use old newspapers to wrap fragile materials.

E-CYCLING

• Donate your old computers and tablets to a school. Many schools will be able to make good use of your old machine.
• Before replacing a computer that no longer fits your needs, consider enhancing the computer’s capacity by upgrading the hard drive or memory. This can save you money too.

STARTING COMMUNITY PROJECTS

• On Earth Day, April 22, show your commitment to a clean environment by volunteering for a cleanup effort in your community.
• Organize a recycling drive in your neighborhood or at school. Collect bottles, glass, plastic, newspapers, or books and take them to your local recycling center or a charity in need.

GREEN PARTIES & EVENTS
