It's understandable to think that a few bottles in the trash will not really make a difference in the landfills, but in reality when you start recycling you will quickly realize that it's not just a few, it's a large container worth. The more you get in the habit of recycling the sooner you will realize how many things are actually recyclable. You'll quickly fill up a full trash can and then another, and so on. In fact, for us, we recycle far more than we trash. We have a large dumpster that we fill up weekly and if that overflows, as it often does, we store the excess in our garage until the next weeks pick up.
Recycling is just one of the many ways to contribute to the future of our planet. Instead of recycling the plastic bottles, why not just skip buying them all together. Instead invest in a container free of harmful toxicities and use filtered water to fill it. The water is more likely better for you and it's easier of your credit card or pocket!
There are countless ways that you can contribute to our future. For now here is a great resource listing 50 ways to help you live a green and conscious lifestyle.
