I try each day to be consistent in my actions, from recycling a coke bottle to using cloth diapers on my son. While there are times when I'm not as good about being Earth-friendly as I should be, I don't let those times get the best of me and discourage me from getting back on the recycling track. I recycle all the junk mail, newspapers, magazines, and paper and cardboard packages we have.
Recycling paper helps to the numbers of tress harvested every year.
While it is difficult to recycle plastics and costly, it is still important to do so. I buy goods that are either in nude packaging or recyclable containers. Recycling helps reduce the amount of bulky garbage I throw away. Recycling as much as I can has also allowed me to switch to a smaller city trashcan, which save me money each month. Most glass bottles can be reused without having to be recycled -the glass products simply need to be sterilized with hot water.
