Do you put biodegradable bags in the trash or recycle?

I bought biodegradable pet waste bags, and I’m wondering if you throw them in the recycling bin or the regular trash?

How to Have a Eco-Friendly Waste-Free Halloween

Holidays sure can get wasteful and this one often involves many decorations that are thrown out, like straw bales and pumpkins. And think of all those plastic masks and candy wrappers! But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some tips on how to have a greener Halloween.

1. Save the seeds of the pumpkin you use for your jack-o-lantern. When you scoop out the pumpkin flesh to make the lantern, save the seeds. They are full of nutrients and have many health benefits. Do not wash them, but separate them from the stringy pulp with your fingers and spread them out on newspaper to dry. Then you can roast and salt them, or eat them raw.

2. Eat the pumpkin’s flesh. The canned pumpkin so popular for pies was once pumpkin flesh. You can make pies, soups, stews, casseroles, breads, and other dishes using pumpkin flesh. Continue Reading How to Have a Eco-Friendly Waste-Free Halloween Here

Garbage bags and trash bags are the next in high demand, as these are helpful to store debris in, and create a spotless living space and working environment.

Repair or Replace Thats the Big Question

To Repair or Replace, Thats the Big Question Most of Us Must Deal With on a Regular Basis

This can be quite a dilemma, to repair or replace that old worn out household item. On the one hand, you don’t want to be wasteful and throw out something that could be repaired. On the other hand, you don’t want to repair something only to have it break again, and again, and again. There is also the concern over the cost of the repairs, and let’s face it, some of the stuff we make today, especially electronics devices are more or less designed to be throw away items, and are cheaper to replace than to have them repaired. The key is always to try to fix something first, then consider other options only when repair is not feasible. Here are some ideas and items that you may be trying to decide to repair or replace.

1. Car – It’s nearly always less expensive to keep your old car than to buy a new one. Of course, if your car is totaled in an accident or otherwise damaged beyond repair, it’s time to replace. But you can replace it with another used car if you want to keep waste to a minimum. Continue Reading Repair or Replace Thats the Big Question Here
