5 Ways to Reduce Waste at Home
During the COVID-19 Pandemic With so many people stuck at home due to COVID-19,
it’s no surprise that delivery orders have increased.
But you can responsibly dispose of packaging materials. According to U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler, recycling
is “more essential than ever right now." Andrew Wheeler,
via CNN Here are five ways you can reduce waste at
home and help prevent possible shortages. 1. Break down your paper and cardboard delivery
boxes and put them out for proper recycling. 2. Instead of throwing disposable bags away,
find other ways to reuse them such as lining
wastebaskets and using them for your next trip. 3. If you’re ordering takeout, reduce waste by opting
out of receiving plastic silverware and napkins. 4. Buy a large resealable bottle of your favorite
beverages instead of buying multiple smaller cans. 5. Divert food waste from landfills by
creating a composting spot in your yard.
