Ideally you
should recycle old ink & toner cartridges. According to research done in
the USA, each re-manufactured cartridge keeps approximately 1,3 kilograms of
metal and plastic out of landfills and saves about 1,8 litres of oil.
Buy
rechargeable batteries. It takes 1000 regular batteries to equal the lifespan
of one rechargeable battery.
On that note
make recycling bins readily available in your home and teach your family the
value of recycling. Have a large bin for glass, plastic and cans and a nice big
basket for paper. Go to the nearest
recycling depot once a week (depending on how much waste you
produce).
IN FACT, I
challenge you to do this for a week and you will be amazed by how much waste an
average home produces!
