 Consider reusable products
- Cloth-napkins, sponges or dishcloths can be used around
the house. These can be washed and reused over and over
again.
- Look for items that are available in refillable containers.
For example, some bottles and jugs for beverages and detergents
are made to be refilled and reused, either by the consumer
or the manufacturer.
- When possible, use rechargeable batteries to help reduce
garbage and to keep toxic metals found in some batteries
out of the waste stream. Another alternative is to look
for batteries with reduced toxic content.
- When using single items, remember to take only what
is needed. For example, take only one napkin or ketchup
packet if more are not needed.
- Remember, if your goal is to reduce solid waste, think
about reusables.
