There is a lot of money to be saved by consumers in alternatives to recycling; thats why we push the Seven Rs: Reduce: Just use less. Return: Producers should take back what they sell. Reuse: Almost boring, but we throw too much stuff out too soon. Repair: Fix and mend things rather than replacing them. Refill: In Ontario Canada, 88% of beer bottles are returned to the beer store, washed and refilled; just south of the border in the USA, the number drops to under 5%. Rot: Compost what is left over, turning it into valuable nutrients. Refuse: Simply refuse to accept this crap from the manufacturers any more. Recycling isnt on the list, because we arent going to reinforce a culture of disposability. #ZeroWaste #BasuraCero
