Happy #EarthDay !! Here’s some fun tips I’ve learned whilst trying to be more eco-conscious!

When recycling cans and plastic water bottles, DO NOT crush them, as the recyclers sort them based off shape and size! So, when you crush them, the recyclers won’t know what they are and may sort them into the wrong category which is no bueno

Also all the tips I’ve learned have come from some sort of media so take that as you will!!

DO NOT recycle plastic bags as they get caught in the recycling machine thingies

Make sure if you are recycling cans/ plastic etc that had food in it, to clean it out before recycling! The food bits contaminate the recycling and then everything that was contaminated ends up becoming garbage :(

THROW YOUR NAPKINS/ TISSUES IN THE COMPOST IF YOU CAN !!

Keep in mind that only 9% of what is being put in recycle actually gets recycled, so reuse where/when you can!

Those black take out tupperware containers can NOT be recycled, so instead reuse them! Use it for food, tools, start plant seeds in there, turn it into a hat, stuff your dog in there, I don’t care!

I shall continue this thread as I think of other tips but the goal is to continue this thread FOREVER
