By the way, the #1 best way to save the environment is by not consuming so much in the first place, right? The less you buy and throw away, the better. The “3 R’s” begin with REDUCE, after all!
Also, make sure you check with your local municipal solid waste office to verify what you can and can’t recycle in your community. Some communities let you recycle everything – including the kitchen sink! Others offer more limited options. Recycle as much as you can, and pay attention to what you can’t so you can buy less of it and figure out creative ways to reuse it.

This is some great information and can really help someone on their recycling journey. As pointed out in the infographic, recycling do’s and don’ts have caused confusion which in turn does have a negative effect. The best thing about this is we can implement this at home and at work, all by being a little more mindful and being a little more educated.
Very true! Recycling can be confusing, but if we help spread the word about what can and can’t be recycled, it will help! Thanks for sharing this post with your community.
Big Green Purse is the best most thought provoking eco-friendly blog on the internet, I love reading every post. I was even encouraged to go #zerowaste myself, starting with http://bit.ly/BambooStraws_ such a simple and inexpensive way to start healing our planet. #EnvoronmentalRevolution
Thank you!!
crazy that the US is at 20%! That’s unacceptable. The municipalities need to creat a sticker label with instructions. I appreciate your helpful information. I’m far from perfect, but am now a little bit more mindful.
A sticker is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
