You can purchase products made of recycled material. Glass, paper, cardboard, plastics, and aluminum can be recycled. Contact your local recycling center to see if they take paint, batteries, electronics, cell phones, and old appliances. A lot of grocery stores have places where you can drop off plastic bags. You can also purchase reusable canvas grocery bags to replace plastic bags. Instead of buying individual bottled water purchase a filtering system that you can place on your kitchen faucet or a container that filters water. I shred my mail that has personal information. Then I take the shredded paper and use if for pet bedding.

Hope this makes sense.
