Remember the Three R’s of waste management: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.  Most of us have developed good habits about recycling waste materials in our home. But cutting down on the amount of new materials we buy and reusing what we already have is another matter.  It could be as simple as buying only what you need and using all that you buy. If you don’t need it, pass it on to someone else who can.  Have a yard sale or donate to charity!
