Why doesn't everyone pre-cycle/reduce? Afterall the 3Rs are Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Reduce is first on the list. But don't forget to reuse and recycle too.

I'm really glad this is getting some coverage. People have become so consumed with recycling that they forget about reduction. Reycling has definately gone mainstream, it's about time waste reduction does as well. Waste reduction means making a lifestyle change, which is scary to many. But Kim's ideas are simple and show how easy it really can be!

I loved going down Kim's list and making a mental check of all the suggestions I'm already following. What's so great is that many of the changes were so simple I've been doing them for a long time and never even notice the difference. Wondering who these people are that are still buying paper towels?? Most ways to reduce save me money, too, which is always a good thing. It was good to get some new tips on things to try.
