Reduce, Reuse, Rethink, Recycle, Rebuy
At
Bamboosa, we believe Americans are doing their best to live more lightly on the Earth
-
but there is much more work to be done. One place to start is to buy back what you have
put in those blue bins!
We need to
reduce, reuse, recycle, rethink our purchases and
REBUY. People are recycling, companies are collecting the materials and
making new products from those materials... and the last step is to BUY retail products made from recycled materials. Close the loop and support recycling at home and at work
by
sourcing quality recycled products ... reducing the amount of
resources used on the front end.
