Reduce your trash

like the PrecycleKid

How can kids help?
You probably spend like half your life in school, so let's start there. Paper is the biggest part of the waste problem in this country, so remember to write on both sides. Use scratch paper when possible.
	Who knows better than you just how much garbage there is in the cafeteria? Pack a lunch, so YOU can help control the amount of trash around you.
Use a thermos for your soft drinks and reusable containers for your food. Throw-aways cost more and choke our landfills.
	Buy jumbo size, and pack your snacks in a plastic container. Did you know that individual bags of chips cost 30% more and that all those bags create over 10 times as much garbage?
When you're getting ready for school, and wondering what to wear, don't forget that hand-me-downs are cool. And money not spent on clothes, is money spent on something else you want.

Leafy thinks that recyling is good, but it's better to think about ways to reduce trash, rather than finding places to put it. You can be a Precycle Kid!
