In the market for something new?
Instead of buying new, consider repairing, borrowing from a neighbor or a friend, renting, or buying used items. Check the local “yellow pages” for stores nearest you. Whether you donate items for others to use, use curbside recycling services, and/or drop off materials for recycling, reusing and recycling helps keep valuable resources from going into the landfill, giving them a chance for a longer life.
