Easy Sustainable Lifestyle Tip
About ten years ago I started learning about the environment and decided to live a sustainable lifestyle. At the time, I didn’t have a community of people or others in my life who were on the same journey as me. As a result, I spent a zillion and one hours Googling information about the environment.
Recycling Tip:
Before putting cans in the recycling bin, make sure they’re prepared to be recycled. First, remove the wrapping on the outside. Then, wash out the inside. Make sure food/ residue is removed. Then, it’s ready to be recycled!
Bonus Environmental Tip:
Double-check with your local recycling center to see what is and isn’t able to be recycled in your area. This information will be available online or you can call the recycling center/waste management service.
What Next?
There will be more easy eco tips coming your way. These tips are categorized as “easy” because, for the most part, they’re things that we can do at home and in our lives that don’t require permission from the local government or other organizations. The series will be published first on TikTok. If you’d like to be the first to see the content, be sure to follow me on the app!
