Eco Friendly Products 101

vvozgodvv asked:


This year my friends and I have been trying to go green - buying organic food and clothing, switching to eco-friendly house cleaning products, fluorescent lights, bio bags, etc; but I still wish to do more. I’ve noticed that my town does not have “recycling” days so I called my town municipal building to inquire and spoke to a very sympathetic person who runs the recycling in my town - who faces the same angst I do. Currently, there is one way to recycle paper - bring it to the Marcal toilet paper factory - but there is currently no way to recycle plastic and glass, unless I drive it over to another town.

How should I go about finding local factories/business and see if they are willing to to accept recyclable materials and what way if possible to get my neighbors involved?

I recycle everything I can, like the plastic grocery bags, and milk jugs and detergent plastics.
But, I do not know what the best alternative is for disposing of other items like the wrappings on food, and household products, and other store bought goods.
We do have the option of burning outside in our area. I hope to get a good suggestion or option to get rid of these type of plastics the best, and most eco-friendly way possible. Thank you!
Not the grocery bags… (I do take my own totes most times, or bring the ones I have from home.)

I am asking about the other type of plastics. Thanks!
