Do we need to throw out the product or can we use it for some other purpose or can it be repaired and used again? One way of reducing the amount of garbage we create is to take food scraps, cabbage leaves, carrot tops, spoiled food, etc. and put these items into a composter. A composter can be made from old blocks or bricks, a 45 gallon drum or used lumber; lumber; thereby recycling another another waste material. The composter will produce produce a soil enficher in the Spring for your garden or flower boxes. Those who are so inclined, inclined, can ask store owners to stock environmentally friendly products, i.e., products products which will not harm the environment, and refuse to buy products which are environmentally environmentally hostile. Businesses of all kinds can do their bit by using recycled recycled stationery and other recycled paper products. No one person can solve the garbage crisis alone but each person can do something something to cut the amount of garbage leaving his or her home..
