Want to Recycle? Begin with this Mindset
Friday, June 23, 2017
The practice of seeking to reduce consumer waste by buying
unpackaged, reusable, or recyclable products is known as precycling.
In simple terms, precycling is thinking about the amount of
waste a product will produce before choosing and buying it. The objective of
precycling is to choose products that have the least environmental impact.
Precycling is a preventive measure that looks to minimize
the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. You can practice Precycling by:
·
Buying in bulk to reduce packaging
·
Purchasing things with little to no packaging
·
Purchasing only those products that you are sure
your local recycling facility accepts
·
Choosing quality durable items that will last
for long periods of time
·
Supporting companies who print on or package
with recycled materials
·
Choosing reusable over disposable items
·
Taking your own bags to the shopping mart
·
Making your own yogurt or bread, instead of
buying packaged options
·
Reusing wrapping papers or wrapping gifts with
things you have at home such as newspapers and fabric
·
Avoiding purchasing things that do not serve an
important purpose in your life or things you don’t really need
·
Making sure that the things you own are useful
items and not just “stuff”
It is important to remember that precycling is the first
step in reducing waste. Reducing waste is of course the first and foremost step
in the sustainability process.
Therefore, precycling is the first thing that should come to
your mind when you hear people talk about sustainable living.
When shopping for groceries and gifts, you must
keep the precycling concept in mind. Precycling will help you to reduce the
waste coming in and going from your home.
Recycling doesn't take a lot of extra time or effort. What
it takes to recycle is a change in mindset toward the value of our natural
resources, and understanding ways of conserving these resources.
When you're ready to commit to the recycling concept of
"Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle,” you must know that the very first steps is a change of mindset. Make sure you approach recycling with the mindset of preservation.
