Nearly everything we buy and use has a carbon footprint, from production to transportation. Most of us are familiar with the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, but there are now two more to keep in mind: Refuse and Repair. It makes sense to take them in order, beginning with the most effective choice, Refuse. Everything in our life has an environmental cost, so even simple actions like refusing to use a paper coffee cup instead of your reusable one might add up over time. Next, reduce your total consumption by carefully analyzing big purchases and avoiding overshopping. Let yourself at least a day or two to consider making a one-time purchase. You may not need it as much as you imagined. Reusing helps you to be more creative while reducing the need for more materials. You may also save money by cutting up used yogurt boxes as plant pots, washing out glass jars for storage, or turning paper and cardboard into hamster bedding.
In addition, so many things are thrown simply because we don't know how to repair them, or it would be too expensive to do so, or they were meant to become outdated. If it's possible, avoid anything that is not made to last. If you are unable to repair it, consider changing it to something different. Recycle as much as you can.
Everything made of metal, wood, most plastics, and paper is likely to be recyclable. Try not to buy anything that is in non-recyclable packaging. Furthermore, seek recycled things made from recycled paper, old rubber tires, and so on.
