Earth Month Tip of the Day: Don't trash it - reuse it!

Today's environmental tip: Don't trash it - reuse it! Be creative as you look for new ways to reduce the amount or kinds of household waste. Give cardboard tubes to pet hamsters or gerbils. Plant seeds in an egg carton. Make a flower pot out of a plastic ice cream tub. By thinking creatively, you will often find new uses for common items and new ways to recycle and reduce waste.

Sea creativo en encontrar nuevas maneras de reducir la cantidad y variedades de desechos caseros. Por ejemplo, dé los tubos de cartón a mascotas como hámsters para jugar. Siembre semillas en un cartón de huevos. Haga un tiesto de un envase plástico de helados. Si piensa de manera creativa, podrá encontrar nuevos usos para artículos comunes y nuevas maneras de reciclar y reducir los desechos.
