Buy Recycled.

Look What You Can Buy that’s Made from Recycled Materials!

Do you know about the toy company that has recycled over 55 million milk jugs so far to create their delightful, kid- and parent-pleasing products? Well you need to! They’re among the many manufacturers helping to keep the planet junk-free. And you can learn about some of them here.

WHY THESE ARTICLES ARE IMPORTANT:
We can get used to buying favorite, old brands or just forget to check what products are made from—all the while contributing to pollution. We can be more savvy in our buying habits.

Buying consumer goods made from recycled materials reduces the carbon footprint, lessens the drain on resources, and eases the environmental impact on landfills, waterways, and the oceans.

Today, many commonly used products are made from upcycled and recycled materials—offering us better choices—from lumber, to toys, to running shoes, to upscale clothing and accessories, and much more.

COMMENT:
With not much effort, you can research products that fill your needs and, at the same time, help to protect the environment.
