Good Human Tip Of The Week – Reuse Your Recycling Bag.
You know how you have a bag that fills up with stuff to be put in the recycling bin each week? Do you just take the whole bag out back and throw it in or do you empty the bag, bring it back in, and use it for the next week? See what I am getting at here?
A single trash bag can last weeks as a recycling bag because rarely does anything wet or dirty go inside it. If it is, you might want to check into your town’s recycling laws, as most places don’t allow any contaminated items. But anyway, try to use your recycling bag several times before throwing it away or recycling it…it’s one less thing for the planet to deal with each week!

Hmm…I don’t actually use a recycling bag. We just use cardboard boxes as “bins” for our recycling and then empty them when it gets full.
Even better Fiona!
