It also helps to buy things that last longer — they can be more expensive, but can save you money in the long run, and will take longer to get to the dreaded landfill!
Recycle: Recycling isn’t just some magical sustainable fix-it-all solution. Recycling is a last resort — when you’ve reduced and reused as much as you can, and you have to throw something away.
