Answer 3

First, reduce purchases of things you do not eat, cut down on the amount of packaging you tolerate, and return excess packaging to the vendor that is foisting it on you in protest... preferably before taking the packaging home.

Before sending things to the dump consider whether anyone in the community might be able to fix it to advantage. Reuse things that others do not want rather than buying new. This might involve buying new repair parts. An important part of this process is to help us learn what things we buying are likely to need repair parts, get them on hand.

Finally, instead of just separating recyclables from landfill, remove all food and compostables, not only things that are currently salable but also anything that we can group together for storage until it may be recyclable should be pulled from the landfill stream and stored in a big pile.

That pile should act as a trigger to either cut down on new inputs to it, or find a way to recycle it.

Answer 4

Flush the toilet.

Answer 5

I think that you could have a neighborhood comost in whoever's yard is most central. Mostly anything foodish can go in there besides eggs and meats. This will definately help get rid of solid wastes if you guys usually throw away food after a meal. We have a compost in our yard and I love it because  great planting soil comes from it. Good and rich.

Another idea is to save flushes. If it is yellow let it mellow. In other words, if you go just pee don't flush the toilet. Let two other people use it and then flush. This saves a lot of water. But if you go number two, then please do flush.

Recycling is an obvious answer. Most anything can be recycled. Check with your town/city and figure out what can be recycled and how it has to be divided to be accepted.

Hope that this helps. I am glad that your neighborhood is into being green.
