The economy sucks. Your 401K has tanked. You can't pay your mortgage, you're upside down on your car loan, and you just found out your kid needs braces.
It's tough out there.
And then you hear, "Save the Planet." You can't save the planet when you're life is in the dumper!
So save yourself instead. Take a tip from your grandmother. "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without." That's the heart of reduce, reuse, recycle.
Reduce your buying, your garbage, your spending, your packaging, your waste.
Reuse your clothes, your toys, your tools, your leftovers in new and creative ways. Donate to charities, swap with neighbors, hand off to friends and family.
Recycle your glass, paper, aluminum, plastic. Find donation points for electronics and hazardous waste. Give precious resources new life.
And, guess what? In the midst of saving the planet you'll save money, too. Really. It might just pay for those braces.
