A big part of the recycling loop is "REUSE." I'm always lugging bags of outgrown clothes and toys to my friends' houses or donating them to charity. Both are very good recycling options. Clothing and toys are the obvious products families reuse. How about pots and pans, a table or a ladder? What if you are looking to acquire something, but don't have the extra cash?
A fantastic site to visit is Freecycle.org. Their goal is "to build a worldwide gifting movement that reduces waste, saves precious resources & eases the burden on our landfills while enabling our members to benefit from the strength of a larger community." Did you catch the term "gifting?" That means anything you donate or acquire is FREE. Simply send an e-mail to the members of your local Freecycle community and provide a treasure to another individual.

These are all positive recommendations to impact the environment. We should all take a stand by making promises to do whatever we can. Think Green.
Check out earthpromise.com and make those promises.
