Just because a product or its packaging has a recycling symbol on it doesn’t mean it is easily recyclable. The question you have to ask is this: Is the item recyclable within your community or in your curbside recycling program? If it isn’t, it does not matter if it has the symbol. Items like Styrofoam cups are marked with a No. 6 recycling symbol but are nearly impossible to recycle, so even if you toss them into the recycling bin, they’ll end up in the landfill anyway.

If you’ve purchased a new washing machine, listen up: Don’t use DIY laundry detergent for your machine. While handmade detergents are a good all-natural alternative, they have a tendency to clog modern-day washing machines. With household appliances becoming more high-tech, that means untested detergents can cause internal havoc. Using a DIY detergent can also void the warranty of your washing machine. Instead, look for commercial brands that are highly concentrated and made with plant-based ingredients. And use your DIY detergents for handwashing purposes only.

Even in this digital world, people still like to have a printed business card ready to share with others. Instead of ordering hundreds of printed business cards -- which can be expensive and wasteful if you don’t use them all -- invest in a custom rubber stamp with all of your info. Then cut out squares from old paperboard boxes and stamp your info on the nonprinted side. Your business cards will be memorable, handmade, useful and beautiful, too.
