How do I go green?

Reduce

There is no better response to manufacturer’s trends toward increased plastic packaging than refusal. Just don’t buy items that employ wasteful packaging. There are almost always alternatives.

Choose fruit and baked goods in bulk rather than in plastic containers; download music and movies from iTunes rather than buying CDs DVDs and their packaging; choose to refuse and keep the planet healthier.

Reuse

Plastic containers can be washed and reused to hold hardware, craft supplies or seeds.

Recycle

All rigid plastic packaging (except Styrofoam) can be recycled in your curbside Blue Box. Rigid plastic can also be dropped off at the depots and companies listed below.
