5. SELF-DIAGNOSIS

A few questions to ask yourself…

1. Do I dispose of everything I have used (from plastic bottles to refrigerators) properly, so it can be recycled?

2. How much trash did I throw away today? Am I committed to produce as little waste as I can?

3. Before you buy something new, do you ask yourself: do I really need this? Can I borrow or rent this if I will only use it a few times? Can this be repaired or re-used? Can this be repurposed or recycled?

4. Do I know my municipality’s policies on recycling and do I follow them?
