The 4 R's: reuse, reduce, recycle and repair

The Four R's
It is very important to follow the four r's: reduce, reuse, recycle and restore.
Are we making a difference for the planet?
Well, there are lots of easy, "green" steps that you can take, right in your own home - right now!
Reduce. Simplify you life, get rid of excess stuff. Ask yourself: Do I really need this? Buy and use only what you need.
Reuse. A perfect example is to gently wash and and dry your plastic baggies - they can be used multiple times.
Recycle. On average, half of what's in your trash can be recycled - mostly paper. Keep a "trash" can in the kitchen for recycled goods and one for non-recyclable items.
Repair. Repair damaged goods - save them from the landfill. Buy used.

Think ecologically. Reduce. Reuse.Recycle.
