Do You Recycle? Save the Environment?

No, I don't. Your freedom to do what you want is being taken away. Most of the stuff manufactured today cannot be recycled. Look at the bottom of a plastic item. If it has a number higher that 2, its trash. Plastic bottles fall into that catagory. Newspapers are made from wood so they can be recycled but who reads the newspaper anymore. I throw my trash away, I don't go through it and sort it.

I am big on saving the environment. I haven't begun recycling yet but I am going to start soon. I try to use reusable products as much as possible too. I believe that small simple steps like this can be really good in the end, especially if everyone takes part!

yes I try to as much as I can, I even use old raggy clothes as cloths to wipe up spills etc. I just cut them into the size that I need.

Very good topic buddy! I've rated your discussion with a Plus. I'd like to give some tips about recycling and saving the environment. If each and every individual does something to save our environment, then the world will live longer without Harm. IN YOUR HOME 1. Recycle everything you can: newspapers, cans, glass bottles and jars, aluminum foil, motor oil, scrap metal, etc. 2. Don't use electrical appliances for things you can easily do by hand, such as opening cans. 3. Use cold water in the washer whenever possible. 4. Re-use brown paper bags to line your trash can instead of plastic bags. Re-use bread bags and the bags you bring your produce home in. 5. Store food in re-usable containers, instead of plastic wrap or aluminum foil. 6. Save wire coat hangers and return them to the dry cleaners. 7. Take unwanted, re-usable items to a charitable organization or thrift shop. 8. Don't leave water running needlessly. 9. Turn your heat down, and wear a sweater. 10. Turn off the lights, TV, or other electrical appliances when you are out of a room. 11. Flush the toilet less often. (If you cut flushing in half, you'll save up to 16.5 gallons a day.) 12. Turn down the heat and turn off the water heater before you leave for vacation. 13. Recycle your Christmas Tree. IN YOUR YARD 14. Start a compost pile. 15. Put up birdfeeders, birdhouses, and birdbaths. 16. Pull weeds instead of using herbicides. 17. Use only organic fertilizers. (They are still the best.) 18. Compost your leaves and yard debris, or take them to a yard debris recycler. (Burning them creates air pollution, and putting them out with the trash wastes landfill space.) 19. Take extra plastic and rubber pots back to the nursery. 20. Plant short, dense shrubs close to your home's foundation to help insulate your home against cold. 21. Use mulch to conserve water in your garden. IN YOUR CAR 22. Keep your car tuned up. 23. Carpool, if possible. 24. Use public transit whenever possible. 25. On weekends, ride your bike or walk instead. 26. Buy a more fuel-efficient model (such as a hybrid or electric) when you're ready for a new car. 27. Recycle your engine oil. 28. Keep your tires properly inflated to save gas. 29. Keep your wheels properly aligned to save your tires. (It's safer too.) 30. Don't litter our roads and highways. Save trash and dispose of it at a rest stop. AT YOUR BUSINESS 31. Recycle office and computer paper, cardboard, etc. whenever possible. 32. Use scrap paper for informal notes to yourself and others. 33. Print or copy on both sides of the paper. 34. Use smaller paper for smaller memos. 35. Re-use manila envelopes and file folders. 36. Hide the throw-away cups, and train people to use their washable coffee mugs. Use washable mugs for meetings too. WHEN YOU'RE SHOPPING 37. Avoid buying food or household products in plastic or styrofoam containers whenever possible. (They cannot be recycled and do not break down in the environment.) 38. Think twice about buying "disposable" products. (They really aren't disposable and are extravagant wastes of the world's resources.) 39. Buy paper products instead of plastic if you must buy "disposables." They break down better in the environment and don't deplete the ozone layer as much. 40. Check the energy rating of major appliances you purchase. Buy only the most-energy-efficient models. 41. Ask questions. Don't buy products, such as styrofoam, that are hazardous to the environment or manufactured at the expense of important habitats such as rain forests. 42. Buy locally grown food and locally made products when possible. 43. Don't buy products made from endangered animals.

We all must save the environment by not only recycling, also do not create too much trash. To help minimize trash, use our own containers when buying food, all supermarts now encourage shoppers to bring their own bags. This is a little one can help save environment.

yeps, i recycled used products. not only i can help in protecting the environment i also save some money.

In my hometown eeryone recycles. We have a sorting system where we all put our garage into three separate bags. Blue for glass, metal, paper Green for anything compostable Clear for everything else.

I recycle what I can when I can. At home I usually give toilet paper/paper towel tubes to my mouse to chew on. He chews them up and makes bedding with them. I recycle soda cans, paper and plastic bottles all the time. I'd like to clean up some magazines and old newspapers and recycle those too but I haven't the time or the patience to go through all of what I have yet.

I always recycle we have a bin for garden waste and boxes,one for ordianry rubbish one for plastics and there is a glass reycle bin in the village plus one for old mobiles,cds etc-littleowl
