Think And Throw
Key Notes :
Think before throw Garbage:
We know many of us throwing plastic bottles, covers on the
street, near the trees, in the ponds, lakes, etc.
It is not a good practice as it pollutes both the land and the water bodies, which affects the lives of both humans and animals
- Before dumping we all need to think and throw because based on the types of wastes that can be recycled, which can be used
- The wastes which cannot be recycled, the hazardous and non- biodegradable wastes, are dismantled or disposed off.
Reuse and Recycle:
Here are some ideas on how to reuse or recycle
items many people wouldn’t think to use more
than once
Plastic Bags:
- Future shopping trips can become less wasteful by reusing plastic bags.
- Protect wipers and mirrors by putting plastic bags over them during freezing weather
- Keep plants alive when you leave town by placing plastic bags around the entire plant to trap moisture.
Old or Damaged CD’s or DVD’s:
- Recycle to coasters and get creative by decorating old discs with fabric, paint, small decorative stones, ribbon or hemp and use them as coasters.
- Keep pests away by hanging discs on tree limbs to keepbirds and other animals away from your garden.
Glass Jars:
- Make an outdoor windproof candle by adding a beeswax votive to a heat resistant glass jar
- Recycle if you can’t use your empty glass containers or use it as decorating material
Food scraps:
- Egg shells are high in calcium ,so sprinkling them on the soil below plants will boost growth
- Orange and lemon peels can be frozen or dried for later use. Just create twists then place in the freezer or in a spot to dry. Combining citrus peels with water and vinegar makes for a nice homemade multi-purpose cleaner
- Garlic skins or onion skins added to soups or bone broth will add extra vitamins and minerals, just be sure to remove them before serving.
Composting at Home:
- Composting is a natural and Eco-friendly method of recycling various organic materials including the agricultural wastes, vegetable peels, and plants wastes for producing manure
- These compost are rich in nutrients, which helps plants to grow healthy and strong.
