Do you use a lot of electronics that require batteries? Remotes, fans, game controllers, clocks, cameras and the like create more electronic waste than meets the eye. A way to reduce your impact on the earth while still enjoying your TV remote is to simply switch to rechargeable batteries! Not only are you preventing more heavy metals from ending up in a landfill, reachable batteries last much longer than normal ones.
Recycling batteries is very important, but reducing the number of batteries we consume is even better.

If you aren’t willing to part with your straw habit, then try a reusable one made of glass or bamboo. Some are hard to clean, though, so you might want to look for ones that come with tiny cleaning brushes. We hate to say that an unclean straw can get wormy, but it can and the only worms you want in your kitchen are the ones in the compost bucket.
