YAY ALL OF YOU!
Good job!
I know that everyone hates me for always being the uh...um...info
rmer here, but I also wanted to add a little thing about "biodegradeable" stuff.
The best thing to do, if at all possible, is avoid using stuff that is disposable. The three R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) are in that order for a reason. They're in order of importance and impact. So, first REDUCE. If you must purchase it, REUSE it. If you can't reuse it, then RECYCLE, but that is the least best option.
Nothing biodegrades in a landfill. I mean, nothing. So, even if your stuff says that it is biodegradeable, that only means under optimum conditions, which include access to air and sunlight. Stuff in a landfill doesn't get that. There are just some things that you can't avoid buying. Like poop bags. *sigh* But, don't let biodegradeable make you feel like they're ok. Cuz they won't biodegrade.
I'm not saying this stuff to be preachy, cuz I'm as guilty as any other person about using some things that you just can't get away from using. Like poop bags. I mean, what else are you going to use? But stuff like water bottles and those kinds of things. Just don't buy plastic water bottles. That's where the reduce thing becomes so important. Yeah, recycling them is good, but REDUCING your need/consumption is
so much better. Get a SIGG! Be a cool kid!!
I Just want to educate!
