Going green is a global movement and it has to begin from us. Throwing trash and unwanted items in our household is a daily routine, but we hardly take time to make the following environmental decisions; reuse, reduce and recycle. Our greatest opportunity to “Go Green” starts from our homes.
Here are some 3 tips on “Going Green”:
Tip 1. Reuse old items
Getting rid of broken and old items are always on our agenda. However, not all broken and old household items need to be thrown. All you need is some creative ideas to resurrect these items and use it creatively. Go online and search on Pinterest. You will find floods of great ideas on reusing household items.
Repurposing is also another great concept which allows every undesired item to be used as something useful again. This can serve as your own little contribution to waste management in your own house.
Tip 2. Reduce Mindless Consumption
In an age where shopping malls entice us to consume more than ever, we are mindlessly accumulating items in our homes. Things collect dust in our homes every day either because we bought it because it was cheap or we didn’t think twice before we made the purchase. Either way, we are only hoarding items that become our stumbling block on the way to “Going Green”.
Be willing to pass on items you don’t use to others who are in need. Have a garage sale once a year to clear the items that have been sitting in your garage. Be mindful of reducing waste going to landfills and be responsible for your own individual share of reducing waste.
Tip 3. Recycle more household items
Although recycling sounds very idealistic and time consuming, recycling at home requires a very insignificant amount of time. Create recycling stations at your home where your family can deposit general house wastes like metal, plastic, and paper which can be later transferred to your community garbage chute.
Be intentional with your recycling program at home and research on how you can maintain recycling at home. Determine what items you can recycle ahead of time, purchase recycled goods, save grocery bags, avoid using disposable items, and join your community’s recycling program.
Always remember, if you want to see the change in the world, it must first begin with you and your family.
“Going Green” is a lifestyle and it has to be maintained constantly!
