If you’re one of the greenest 91% among us who believe we still have room to improve when it comes to consumption, here are some easy hints......keep and use what we have longer, ...get what we need by borrowing or buying secondhand, ....not end up burdened with “stuff” that makes us feel both cluttered and empty.
Reuse does all sorts of good things. It:
• Fosters green, reuse-related jobs like repair and consignment and keeps dollars local.
• Prevents waste (and those of you who know me know how I feel about waste and landfills), conserves natural resources and reduces greenhouse gasses. (How? Keeping it in use longer slows our use of virgin resources and creation of waste.) So simply by using longer and reusing can help Mother Nature and our environment "...because every drop helps"
