Reduce
We should all avoid products with excessive packaging
The production of the packaging uses additional energy
The extra volume and weight will have to be transported (by lorries, aircraft, ships etc.)
The packaging will be thrown out and will need to be collected from your home by a large waste disposal truck
Packaging then takes more space at land fill sites
Re-use
Everyone should try and re-use products for as long as feasibly possible. It is amazing how often people buy certain products and use them only once or twice, even though they can be re-used many times. For instance can you think of some items of clothing you have worn only once?
Recycle
Recycling uses less energy and produces less pollution than making things from scratch.
For example:-
Making Aluminium cans from old ones uses one twelfth of the energy to make them from raw materials.
For glass bottles, 315kg of CO2 is saved per tonne of glass recycled after taking into account the transportation and processing
Making bags from recycled polythene takes one third the Sulphur Dioxide and half the Nitrous Oxide, than making them from scratch.
Another form of recycling is composting household and garden waste.
What can you compost?
Garden waste (fallen leaves, grass cuttings and prunings)
Kitchen waste (such as raw vegetables, fruit, crushed egg shells, tea leaves and tea bags)
In addition try, shredded paper and cardboard.
Gifting items to charity is also an excellent form of recycling. Charities not only sell old clothes, but would also appreciate other house hold items, such as books, music CDs, videos, etc. As well as saving the planet against global warming you will also be helping others.
