The next time you put something in the trash, think about how it could be reused by someone else.
The hundreds of thousands of recycling bins in Canada don't tell the whole story, in fact 75% is thrown away and not recycled. Landfills are full, forcing towns and villages to search for new sites.
The things we throw away more than stink and take up space, they produce two greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide and methane. Both contribute to climate change, methane is important because it has 21 times the capacity to capture heat compared to that of carbon dioxide.
To reduce the volume of things thrown into the landfill, think about the three Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) and find ways to make room for reuse of possessions instead of throwing them away.
