Share magazines and newspapers with friends or donate your already read ones to hospitals, doctors offices, or community places. Here in Hawaii: The library accepts used magazines in good condition. Ask you local school, after school program, preschool or daycare if they need magazines for art projects. They often appreciate the donation.
Donate useful items
Give away things you no longer need or want, or donate to a charitable organization or thrift store. Don’t throw away good items that are still usable.
Better coffee filters
Use unbleached coffee filters – bleached paper products create dioxin, a deadly toxic which is dumped into waterways. Some coffee makers have reusable filter baskets and there are cloth filters that can be washed and reused again and again.
