At home . . .
• compost plant-based food scraps. Use the soil created to enrich your garden or flower beds
• use and wash cloth napkins instead of paper napkins
• use cloth towels and rags instead of paper towels
• use aluminum foil instead of plastic wrap
• rent equipment you use infrequently, like chainsaws or carpet cleaners
• repair appliances or equipment instead of replacing it
• buy recycled toilet paper (yes, it exists)
• use plastic wastebasket liners more than once
