Answer 1

recycling water bottles is good but NOT buying water bottle products in the first place is a better idea.  get reusable water bottles so less plastic bottles would be generated in the first place

heres a good site:

Answer 2

-You can go to the library to get additional information on ways to recycle.  

-You could read magazines/newspapers while you are there instead of taking your own home  subscriptions.

-You could re-use paper or plastic bags from the grocery store for trash can liners.  Better yet, take your own tote bags to the grocery store instead of receiving their bags.

-You could drink out of glass cups instead of plastic or paper.

-You could volunteer to clean up trash in your local neighborhood one saturday a month.

-You could purchase products that already use recyled materials -look for labels that say "post consumer waste" included or "green" or the "recycled" triple arrow symbol on them.

Good for you for wanting to save our Earth!:)

Answer 3

Save money and the planet by avoiding buying useful stuff. Why recycle water bottles when you can drink tap water?! I never buy bottled water (unless mineral once in a while) because it's not better for the health and the bottling and transportation has major negative effects compared to tap water. Bring your own bottle of water when outside of home. You can reduce the quantity of paper you have by switching to the e-mail version of most things you get trough the mail and informing the companies that you would be more interested in them if they stopped wasting paper sent to your house. Prefer the on-line version of magazines and books when available or go to the library. We need to change the way we think to put in place the concept of reduce-reuse and recycle. Reducing should always come first!

Answer 4

Use natural cleanning products and only buy if need something.  You could also wear vintage clothing or have a clothing swap party with your friends?  

That way you can cut down on your spending and also get something out of the deal especially if your friends aren't going to wear it.

Another way is to give your clothing away to charity or a drop off box.  That you know you are never going to wear again or if it doesn't fit you.

Take out books and magazines from the library rather then buying them.

Answer 5

Call all the catalogs that you receive and ask them to take you of their mailing list and use their web site instead,it will save us a lot of trees if everybody did the same thing.

Answer 6

Not using paper towels, growing your own vegetables
