What Need to do?
RE-CYCLE
Not only can recycling help reduce our carbon footprints, but it also helps us breathe cleaner, fresher air and drink cleaner water.
Food for Thought
- Can the materials used in this product be recycled?
- Can they be returned to useable raw materials?
- Can we use renewable energy, such as solar and wind energy, to power equipment and recycle items into raw and useable materials?
The answer is yes. Yes, we can!
RE-USE
Reuse is often confused with recycling, but the two couldn’t be more different! While recycling involves reprocessing an item back to its original raw materials, reusing is for lengthening the life of an item.
Not only does reusing help prevent pollution, but it also saves on energy, reduces the emission of greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming, and is economically more feasible.
Reuse, Don’t Abuse!
Instead of throwing away items, why not reuse them in innovative ways? We all need to take up the social and moral responsibility of being more conscious regarding the items we purchase and what we do with them once their purpose has been fulfilled.
Fun Fact
Did you know that using an Eco-Scout reusable cloth bag over your lifetime can help remove over 22,000 plastic bags? Amazing!
RE-DUCE
Do you know how many carbon footprints we could reduce if everyone switched to solar power to recharge our mobile phones?
Questions to Ask
To get the conversation started, it’s essential to ask ourselves questions no matter how uncomfortable they may seem.
- Can we reduce the number of materials used in products?
- Can we reduce energy when making the product?
- Can the packaging be rethought?
- Can we use solar-powered vehicles to power household items?
RE- PLANT
Reforestation is an important aspect to focus on, mainly because trees play an active role in decreasing carbon dioxide levels and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. Carbon is also stored in biomass in the trunk, roots, and leaves of plants which mitigate climate breakdown.
Plant a Tree. Plant Hope.
Would you consider planting a tree in the memory of a loved one or marking special events and occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, and much more?
RE-FUSE
Do we need all the Products that are created, packaged marketing at the expense of depleting the earth for profits?
Do we have to upgrade everything so frequently, dump, and throw away?
Consumers can refuse to buy or use products manufactured in which their production lines defile the environment and the planet as a whole catalyzing the effects of Climate Change.
