Buy recycled products, or products with recyled packaging.

The Issue

We do this at least once a week and have been for the past several years. Even though they are more expensive, we buy toothbrushes made from recyled yogurt cups. Then once we have a bunch, we send them back to be recycled once more. Although it has been difficult to overcome a Costco mentality on my partner's part, we buy all recycled paper towls, toilet paper and tissues. When I have been in charge of an office in the past, I switched to recycled paper.

We do not have much pin money, but we have a commitment to buy recycled products whenever we find them because it is so much more important than an extra Starbucks or movie.

Kathleen M. (and GUI)Petition StarterI love to look for untold stories. We can not rely on the mainstream media to inform us about what is going on the social justice front, or anything having to do with positive, progressive change.
