To many, garbage is but a thing of the past. Its tossed in a pail, dragged to the curb, and never seen again. But when you're throwing certain things away without thinking of it, you're really losing out on possible materials that have many different applications. After all, sustainability is extremely important in today's society and it begins with those who waste the most -- us. Here are a few things to take note of when throwing out your garbage.
Food has more uses
Before throwing out that extra head of lettuce or extra pieces of peppers from taco night, think about what else you can do with it. Creating a compost pile out of your uneaten food can provide you with an optimal amount of nutrient rich soil for years to come. Not only is it free, but it's much healthier for your plants and shrubbery. Additionally, it decreases the amount of trash thrown out each week. That's less work for everyone!
Recyclables
Do you know how many bottles of water you go through per week? If you're not reusing the bottles, chances are they're ending up in a bin. Consider investing in something a bit more sustainable. Reusable water bottles are great for this, and can even filter out particles before it gets to your mouth. Rao water is extremely clean these days, so taste shouldn't be an issue. If that's not your thing, try reusing the bottle you opened this morning. If you're like many, that recycling bin fills up pretty quickly.
