REDUCE If you cut down on the number of soda bottles and soup cans and on the volume of paper you bring into your home, you will automatically reduce the amount leaving for the landfill. It’s easier than you think. Stop buying single-serving sizes. Four 15-ounce soup cans fit in one 64-ounce can. Bring home the big one and break it down into reusable plastic containers. Ten freeze them and carry the frozen container to work or school to keep your other food chilled until you zap the soup at lunchtime. Write on both sides of the paper. Figure out how to duplex on your printers and copiers. Buy cut flowers instead of adding another vase to your collection. Don’t buy single-size packets of pudding, hot chocolate, apple sauce, oatmeal, grits or fruit rolls.
REUSE
Another way to help reach our 40-percent target is to re- use items. It’s a simple concept. When an item enters your life, use it again and again and again. Ten share, give, loan, sell or donate it to someone else for their own agains. Give that old dictionary to your child’s school. Bedazzle
a Pringles container to hold pens. Donate the Funk & Wagnalls encyclopedia from 1964 to the Friends of the Library organization. After your son outgrows his clothes, share them with a neighbor whose child is a size smaller, and ask her to pass them along to someone else. Go through your closet with your niece. Te size 8 jeans
you know will never fit again will provide more satisfaction when she is walking around wearing them. Pull out larger clothes and have them altered to fit. Gather your college, slogan and race T-shirts to make a memory quilt.

Don’t buy the book your friend recommended – bor-
row his copy. Joining a book club might sound coun- terintuitive because you’ll all need to buy the book, but some will already own it, some will get the e-book and a few can check it out of the library.
RECYCLE I didn’t even get to recycle yet, and I’m almost out of space. Rather than add more pages to the magazine, which wouldn’t really fit our theme, I refer you to our website for lots more information about the three Rs. However, here are a few things you can start doing today. You can leave the caps on bottles and jars. Or you can take them off; it doesn’t matter. You should rinse the dirty contain- ers – like peanut butter – to keep the bugs, mold and smell to a minimum in your garage and at recycling facilities. You can recycle paperboard items such as cereal boxes, milk cartons, frozen dinner boxes, cracker boxes, dishwasher detergent boxes, priority mail envelopes and – bet you didn’t think of this – paper towel and toilet paper cores. You can recycle aluminum foil – but not sheets that are splattered with grease. Use foil to cover a bowl in the fridge, reuse it a few times and then crumble it up into a ball and recycle it. When you go on your tour of the recycling facility, ask to see the high-powered magnet that sucks up all of that foil, aluminum, tin, steel and anything else remotely magnetic and carries it away to be compacted into a tight bundle. You can recycle greeting cards, parchment paper, paper
towels (wet or dry but not dirty), magazines, books (hard or soft cover), non-spiral notebooks and junk mail – even envelopes with plastic windows. Asked to describe what paper-like products they don’t accept, Carusos paused, then responded, “If it tears, we’ll take it.”
