3 Reasons for Recycling

No matter how it’s cut, recycling is one of the most important things we as people can do. In order to preserve our earth, we must first combat what we use on a daily basis that can harm the planet. One of the obvious answers comes recycling, which is a huge contributor in preservation. So, why should you recycle? In addition to the benefits that it provides the earth, there are a few that you might find pretty enticing yourself.

A Few Extra Bucks

Recycling is one of those hobbies that can actually make you money, instead of costing you money. When drinking water bottles, cans and other beverages, those cans come with a tax .If you’re the type to stockpile a few, it could make you some cash back on the side! 20 cans equals one dollar, and consistently making trips to the recycling center can add up to some cash on the side for bills or a new pair of shoes!

It Creates Jobs!

Recycling is a $236B industry. This means that every year, 1.1 million people can be employed based on the need for jobs in the industry. If you’re doing your part, it creates opportunities for others who are looking for the chance to make a difference.

New Products

One of the best reasons to recycle comes with the reality that these things get a second chance at life. Recycled cans and paper can ultimately be made into new products that get reused, without the need to cut a tree down, or form new metals using machinery and manpower. Ultimately, this can reduce emissions, and increase the amount of trees on earth which can only aid in keeping our planet healthy.

What You Can Do With Leaves

Household pests are in full swing during the fall. No we’re not talking about bugs, cold weather, or the kids making a mess in the yard. No, we’re talking about a much different pest -- leaves. When the beautiful trees decide to change colors, their leaves are great to look at; until they fall all over the yard. Then, it’s a few hours of leaf-blowing, raking, and the occasional sprint from the dog that ruins your hard work (We’ve been there, don’t worry.) But instead of throwing all of that stuff away and to the curb, here are some other things you can do with your new yard tenants.

Firestarting Logs.

This one is easy and great for those who spend time outdoors with their family and friends around a fire-pit. Grab two 5 gallon buckets, and set one aside. Drill a few holes in the side of the one, closer to the bottom, and throw leaves inside. Next, spray some water inside the bucket to dampen up the leaves. Place the other bucket on top as if you were stacking, and press down hard. Most of the water will escape, and the rest will help compact and bind the leaves together. From here, give it a few days to dry and harden. Take the bucket off the top and slide out your new puck or dried leaves. Break this into pieces and use to start a fire whenever necessary! It sure beats buying one each time.

Compost.

One of the best things you can do for your home, the environment, and your plants, is to assist with going green. These leaves are full of nutrients that when broken down turn into soil that can be used for almost anything. Though this process may take longer than wanted, it proves to pay itself off in the long run. Whether you’re looking for extra soil or something to get your plants growing, this is the easy answer instead of throwing leaves away.
