The global retail chain H&M is working to close the loop on the thousands of tons of textile clothing that is thrown away every year that could easily be re-worn, repaired or recycled instead of sent to landfills. H&M has installed free Garment Collecting bins in all of its stores, where you can drop off clothes of any brand to be given a new life when you're done with them. H&M sorts the clothes and separates them into groups: Re-wear (given to thrift shops), Reuse (made into other products, like cleaning cloths) and Recycle (made into entirely new products, like home insulation). Any profit H&M makes is given to social projects to better the world around us.

With about 140 million tax returns processed by the IRS every year, it makes sense to go paperless when filing, to save trees. But going green with your taxes can also save you money in the long run, too. According to CBS News, if you use an electronic file for your tax return, your error rate in filing your taxes is just about 1 percent. If you file your taxes manually using paper files, the error rate skyrockets to 20 percent. So going green by going paperless can actually help you save money and be error-free, too.

Did you know more than 300 million golf balls are discarded every year in the United States? The golf ball manufacturer Dixon wants to change that and reward golfers for handing in their old golf balls to be recycled. You can recycle any brand of Dixon golf balls at any retailer that carries Dixon products (find retailers at dixongolf.com). In addition, for each dozen recycled, Dixon will give you a $6 credit toward the purchase of new Dixon golf balls. What do they do with the old balls? They are shredded and recycled into new recreational products.
