And Everyone Needs to Participate!

Recycling is a wonderfully simple and convenient way to participate and take an active role in working towards low-impact living. Everyone can help from toddlers to octogenarians. Simple things like using reusable bags instead of plastic bags at the market or simply use a rag instead of paper towels.

Recycling saves money for you and for our economy as a whole. Certainly reusing materials is cost effective but so is buying recycled products or products made with recyclable materials. The more consumers buy and create more demand for recyclable goods, the more the demand will be met and costs will go down even more. The reasons why I should recycle are uncomplicated, I recycle because it helps the planet and makes me feel good.
