OK, less rubbish good, landfill sites bad. So, repeat after me: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. 1. Reduce the amount of rubbish you create. Rethink how you shop to reduce packaging. Use tupperware rather than plastic bags or foil to wrap your food in. Use rechargeable batteries and reusable razors. Save money and buy in bulk (maybe by clubbing together with friends or neighbours?), or take back containers to be refilled where possible (Ecover detergents etc offer this service at many health food shops). Use washable nappies not disposable ones. Stop being sent junk mail by signing up to the Mail Preference Service Mail Preference Service. Plan your weekly meals properly to avoid food wastage... you get the idea.

- These are also known as the environmental 3Rs. They are... 1.
* reducing 2.
* reusing 3.
* recycling First, when possible, reduce or don't use resources you don't need. One of the easiest ways to do this is to stop using up things where you aren't making use of them. For instance, turn out the lights when you don't need them. Don't run the water when you aren't using it (turn it off while you brush your teeth). This is the best option because you not only save resources by not using them, you also leave them available for then they are used, and there are frequently other resources saved by note needing to create more. For example, if you save water usage, you have also saved the energy needed to purify and pump that water, and often, the resources that will be expended in sew

Yoghurt pots and toilet roll inners are good for raising seedlings, old jumpers could make a cushion cover. And if you've got kids, bring out your inner Blue Peter! 3. Recycle. Think - can this be recycled? before you throw it away. Paper, cardboard, glass, plastic bags, plastic bottles and cartons, tins, compostable organic matter - all of these should not be going to landfill. If your council don't collect it, take it to your local tip or environment centre. Old clothes, books, furniture etc can be taken to a charity shop or clothes/book bank, sold on ebay or put on Freecycle. There really shouldn't be much left to throw away after all that!

For example, if you save water usage, you have also saved the energy needed to purify and pump that water, and often, the resources that will be expended in sewage treatment. Second, by reusing, we also reduce the amount of new resources that will be used. Reuse can be facilitated by using objects that are sturdy or built well. When you use standard dishes instead of paper plates, you reduce the amount of waste that is created. The third category is often the one we think of first. Recycling is good for the environment, but not as good as the first two choices. Recycling takes energy. __TOC__
