Recyclebank Tips 1-7

Looking for a simple suggestion on what you can do to help the planet everyday? Come back every week and check out our daily green tips!

#1: Recycle!

#2: Go for package-free, fresh fruit

Grab some fresh fruit for breakfast this morning. Not only is it healthy, but it helps the environment by cutting down on the packaging.

#3: Carpool to School.

Carpool with other parents for the drive to school. You’ll free up some time and save some gas.

#4: Turn off the tap.

Make sure you (and your kids) turn off the water when brushing your teeth.

#5: Repurpose coffee grinds.

Repurpose coffee grinds. You can use them to touch up wood scratches, create natural fertilizer and scrub grease off pans.

#6: Unplug appliaces.

Don’t just switch your blow dryer or toasters off. Unplug appliances to avoid vampire energy!

#7: Buy bulk to reduce packaging.

Have a favorite breakfast cereal that your family eats a lot? Buy it in bulk. You’ll save packaging and money.
