Use recycled toilet paper in place of paper towels or facial tissue. Use toilet paper to wipe up bathroom hair or dripped water, etc. Have a roll handy for everyone to use. Toss it into the trash, not in the toilet. Use sponges instead of paper towels for larger spills. Think of the savings to your purse and the planet.

Compost food items that grow from the earth instead of running the disposal or tossing scraps into landfill trash. Find online compost information, learn what is compostable and what isn't. Buy a small garbage container with a tight fitting lid at the sink. Clean up after a meal: put earth worthy scraps in it, ready to take out to the compost bin (all sizes available) or compost heap in your yard. Find out how easy it its to create a nice rich soil compost heap: online. Compost is a natural way to recycle for good living. Gardens bloom beautifully with compost.
