We compost and we have a veggie fruit garden too. And we walk to train/post office/supermarklet/ anywhere that is walkable we walk!
We make our own cleaning solutions instead of buying plastic bottles, we reuse the same one over and over.
We recycle everything at our home. Shampoo bottles, vitamin bottles, aluminum foil, yogurt containers, plastic cups, etc. I donate my magazines (because I get a million subscriptions, thanks to this website!), to my hair salon and my husband brings his to his job.
I recycle everything possible! My hubby is also starting to actually listen to me! Haha
WOW! What an awesome giveaway! One way that I recycle is that I find creative things (mostly off of Pinterest) to make out of used items.
I recently took empty Lysol Wipes canisters, washed them out and put used plastic grocery bags in them. And I keep one in each of our cars. You never know when you might need an extra bag for a dirty diaper or trash, LOL!!!
We alway recycle all our bottles and cans! Even re used k-cups for plant starters!!
liked Sensibles on FB 🙂
We walk a 1/4 mile to bus stop 2x a day. We reuse water bottles,
I recycle the traditional paper, cans and bottles. And use reusable cups for coffee and water throughout the day to save on garbge and waist.
We recycle everything humanly possible…
We love our compost bin – it has cut down the amount of trash at least in half. As a bonus – the soil that comes out is so rich, it helps my plants grow better. I would be curious to see how the Sensibles biodegrade in there!
Not only do I recyle everything possible at home… but I also make my coworkers recyle at my job (where we don’t have a recycling program), then once a week I drive all of the recycling home and put it out for my weekly collection!
we have a compost pile and we recycle anything we can. we even joined freecycle on yahoo….its a great way to recycle things:)
I am a fan of Sensibles on FACEBOOK
with a new 8 week old baby & 2 more kids under 5, we make recycling a part of our everyday lives.
We diligently recycle at home and reuse what we can. Also do not use plastic shopping bags.
I make sure to collect empty water bottles and recycle them
I now recycle all bottles, boxes, newspapers and every thing else I can. 🙂
I recycle everything possible, re use take out containers for packing lunches, and I work at a school that doesn’t recycle so I made a collection box and drive the recyclables home every week to put out with my collection.
I reuse plastic bags
My 8 year old Son and I recycle everything possible in the house. We have out own veggie garden and use household trash in there (ie coffe grinds) Dedicated recyclers.
We use reusable shopping bags and recycle every water bottle and newspaper we buy! LOVE Sensibles plates!
Being a boy scout leader I have to recycle everything possible or my little scout will call me out on it. Fortunately our town recycles most everything. From dirty pizza boxes to used foil. Everything else useable that we don’t need goes to Salvation Army.
I buy in bulk so the packaging is often less bulky than a bunch of smaller packs, then put portions in reusable containers. I also like to reuse the large containers for securing bagged items so the critters won’t be snacking on them!
To recycle I have a compost, recycle all plastics/cans/metals. I have learned from my in-laws how to recycle things I never though I could ever recycle. In my house, we keep the lights off during the day time and AC off during the night time. Every little helps!
I try to find a purpose to resuse almost everything i buy. I also post things on Freecycle to keep them out of the landfill.
My friends & family make fun of me because I clean each and every recycleable. I also organize them too. I love where I live & want my children childrens to have a beautiful place too
I liked sensibles on facebook.
I try to use reusable tote bags when I shop for groceries, and tell cashiers not to give me a bag when I make small purchases (gum, chapstick, etc.). I also reuse glass spaghetti jars by spray painting them and turning them into rustic vases for fresh flowers!

We recycle shopping bags, egg cartons, milk cartons all for projects! With a 3 year old..its a must..these simple things + paint make them happy! lol Love sensibles!
I use CFL bulbs, always bring a reusable bag or refuse a bag for one or two items, and recycle everything I possibly can. I work for a contractor who renovates bathrooms. The old sinks and toilets are now freecycled so that they avoid the dump thanks to my suggestion. Saves on disposal fees too.
I use recyclable grocery bags weekly not the plastic ones
We reuse our bags at the supermarket and put out our recycling every Wednesday. We also help the environment by driving a hybrid!
Also, like on FB!
we give our aluminum cans to our neighbor who then brings the to make a few bucks at the recycling center
We recycle everything we can at our house and have only a small amount of trash. If I try to throw something recyclable in the trash my 6 yr old who watches too much PBS yells at me that “we only have 1 earth and we have to take care of it!”
I give bottle caps to my kids to recycle at school. We reuse water bottles, and recycle papers!
my family of 3 recycle everything in sight! weekly trips to our recycling center!
I like sensibles on facebook
I actually use trash as base for my art work. I reuse old windows and I make pot racks for a little store where I live…oh and crushed cans make great drainage for the bottom of plants in plant holders
To be honest, I was horrible at recycling until my daughter turned 2, and she started seeing what I was throwing away. She collects all our water bottles, and we go return them at our local grocery store. She buys a little treat with what we get back from them, it’s turned into a fun activity for a boring day!
I try to re-use anyuthing i can, and think of a new ways of reusing stuff.
We recycle everything possible!
One way we reuse good items is buying a lot of our toys, clothes and home items at the thrift store.
We use CFL lightbulbs and reusable shopping bags. If we get plastic shopping bags, we reuse them as small trash bin liners.
I also “liked” Sensibles on FB.
I teach my kids to reduce waste and reuse what can be used again!
We recycle and have a compost pile.. We recycle the horse manure from our farm with the compost.. For our gardens.!
Me and my 3 roommates all collect our recycled items including paper, cans, and bottles and make sure to reuse whenever possible!
We recycle everything we can. We also try to buy items that are packaged using recycled materials (Kashi cereal boxes, etc). I also reuse containers and packages for crafts and storage.
We save toilet paper/paper towel tubes and give them to the school art teacher for crafts and sometimes keep them for ourselves for crafts. We also recycle water bottles and constantly using go-green bags when shopping.
i recycle shopping bags
I do alot of recycling in my home, everything, even batteries. I even bring my own canvas bags to the grocery store now. I work for a church, and put up a recycling container for everyone to use so it cuts down on their trash. Now when I go out for a walk I bring an old canvas bag with me and pick up empty bottles along the way.
My toddlers and I just took our recycling to the curb! We use Eco friendly cleaners and washable swifter pads!
We make our own cleaning solutions so we can reuse the same bottles over and over again and also our garbage company helps with providing bins for recyclable items, so we can just toss cardboard, plastic, and cans into the bins!
We Love to recycle! and i use my shopping bags over and over.
I reuse cardboard boxes and newspapers by making paper-mache’ bins. They make great “junk drawers” and stock-pile bins.
I re-use all plastic bags, freezer and storage. I also re-use the bags that come in cereal boxes. I rinse them out and then re-use them when I pound chicken. They are thick wax paper and work great.
We’re big composters here in the Hudson Valley. This week we’ve been “recycling” our neighbors newly cut down tree (too close to power lines… it had to go as per orders of NYSE&G). The husband is out splitting logs as I type. He hopes to be finished before the real hot weather starts. Thanks for the give away!
I’m in the Hudson Valley too! Gotta recycle around here to keep it as beautiful as it is 🙂
My town makes recycling really difficult. They will not accept paper, so to recycle newspaper we use it to start fires in the wood stove that heats the house. To recycle magazines I bring them to my coworkers and family, and that way they get enjoyed again before being recycled!
I take my old clothes and furniture to Good-Will so they can be reused.
We recycle most of our garbage, we have practically stopped using bottled water. its the small changes in our daily lives that show us we can make a huge impact.
My family recyles everything paper, plastic, unused coupons. We donate cloths that we either never wear or kids cloths. in the summer weather we use a cloths line instead of the dryer to dry cloths.
i recycle and stopped buying bottled water to cut down on the amount of plastic i was wasting!
We recycle cans, bottles, newspapers, and shopping bags. I love to find ideas on pintrest to recycle things with. This year we turned an old wooden pallet into a vegie garden!
We religiously recycle every scrap of paper we can including coupons! lol
Thank you for being so GENEROUS!!!! I recycle EVERYTHING and do not use plastic bags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being only one person, I don’t have much, but when I do I make sure to try to save this good earth.
We recycle what we can everyday and not just throw it in the waste basket. I would also like to build a rain barrel to water our vegetable garden this summer.
I liked the page also!!!!!!
I’ve stopped using plastic water bottles and now only use refillable, reusable bottles for water.
I recycle our paper and bottles. I use plastic bags for our garbage. I also reuse shopping bags when I go shopping.
One of my favorite things to do to help recycle is to compost all of our egg shells, banana peels, etc….and feed it to our garden! All of that “would be trash” ends up helping my garden grow! And my children have even gotten into the act – they know when I peel an apple for them that the peels go in the compost container, NOT the trash!! :o)
I recycle cans & bottles & other recyclables. Also reduce waste by either using plastic reusable containers for lunch OR re-using sandwich baggies. 🙂
I never buy bottled water, instead I use my reusable water bottle.
We recycle our cans, newspapers, other paper – pretty much anything we can.
We recycle paper, plastic, and aluminum at home then bring it to the recycling center. We also reuse shopping bags as doggy bags too.
How will I know I’m entered? I added my comment. I ‘liked’ on facebook….. nothing came up reguarding the giveaway……..
I recycle any packaging or product that I can, and bring all of my used plastic bags to the bins outside of Shoprite that accept them! I also donate all of my used clothing and shoes to the Salvation Army.
What don’t we recycle should be the question. We have a very busy house with 3 girls. My husband and I have be teaching our girls to recycle from the time the started walking. They love sorting and placing everthing in the proper bins, even my 18 month old gets in on the action. I love getting points on RecycleBank website. 🙂 My daughters are helping out and feel like they are a part of a very important earth project. They are the reason we recycle.

I owe alot of the recycling in our house to our 8 year old daughter who had a project due for school about recycling and how it could help our enviroment. We now recycle everything we could.
We always recycle our aluminum cans and paper! I keep a supply of plastic bags near my cat box to be used to throw away their “gifts”! 😀
I try to recycle as much as I can, grow my own little garden and use reusable shopping bags whenever I can.
My four boys and myself recycle whatever we can and if we are out in town then we hang onto our recycleables until we find a recycle bin. Thank you.
We recycle every thing possible and also get my 4 year old to learn it.

I recycle all plastic bottles and can jars
We recycle everything that is allowed to go in the container. Also small containers like butter or hills s hire farms containers I wash out and use for small toy storage such as crayons. I also use the cardboard boxes that diapers come in as book storage in my sons closet.
l follow on Facebook. Thank you.
Our weekly garbage container is as big as our recycling container-now our recycling gets filled faster than our trash bin! 🙂 We also use totes when grocery shopping as well!
I recycle all cans, bottles, plastics – my mother thinks I’m crazy to wash out the cat food cans to recycle, but why not?! We use insulated stainless steel bottles in lieu of plastic water bottles. I always use my cloth bags for shopping – can’t remember the last time I got a plastic bag at the store. Makes me feel good to reuse and recycle….it’s the least I can do to help the planet!
Our Family recycles everything!! we usually have more recycling than garbage every week! I love that the plates are compostable!!
Recycle glass, aluminum and plastic at home along with cardboard and paper. Started paper recycling here at my office too!
I bring my bags from home when I’m doing any shopping, not just for grocery stores to reduce the amount of plastic bags I use.
I liked Sensibles on Facebook. To reuse/recycle, my family has began using all of our magazines for crafts like bookmarks, collages, puppets etc. We use our own household cleaners like bathroom cleaner, febreeze type spray etc, thereby continually using the same bottle and producing less waste. We use empty vitamin containers for thumbtacks, paper clips or anything else small that might need a home.
-compost
-reuse
-recycle what we can’t reuse
-cloth diaper
All those newspapers I buy – for the coupons – are always recycled!
I have a husband, 4 grown children, and 3 grandchildren. With this large a family we have to do your part. First we upcycle what ever we can. Then we recycle or compost.
I used home made laundry detergent its great, and just recycle in general!! 🙂
I liked Sensibles on Facebook. We recycle almunium cans as well as glass and plastic bottles. MY kids and I also love arts and crafts so I recycle just about anything cardboard, plastic, metal, and especially paper bags (they make great wrapping paper)to save for future projects.
I liked Sensibles on facebook
In my house we recycle just about everything. At the end of the week, after recycling and putting vegetable scraps, egg shells, etc. in the mulch er we only have one small bag of actual garbage to throw away, so having dishes that are sturdy and recyclable is an added plus.
My family recycles newspapers, plastic bottles, etc. Anything we can do to help the environment!!
I try to recycle everything possible…bottles, newspaper, magazines, weekly store adds, scarp paper from printing coupons and whatever else that can be recycled, and my 2 year old loves helping.
I compost to help eliminate waste, and try to recycle all glass bottles
I liked Sensibles on FB!
We of course, use our re-usable shopping bags at the store. (Love my LRWC canvas bag- holds the most free groceries!) My kids also stock their play fridge with any plastic containers that I can wash- ie. spices, ovaltine, yogurts, parmesan cheese, all those yummy free Kraft Philly Indulgence containers we scored etc… They love to use the ‘real’ stuff that mama uses in her kitchen!
I recycle all cans, glass and plastic. I also try to reuse everything or pass it on to someone else that can use it
I only shop with reusable bags, recycle anything I can and compost.
I always recycle at home and have even put in place a recycling program for my company (wine * liquor distributor) so we can recycle the used bottles we go through
We recycle all glass, tin, cardboard, newspapers and plastics that are allowed by our community.
My family recycles as much as we can from newspapers, food boxes and cans to bottles and toilet paper rolls. The kids use the egg crates to plant flower seedlings. My husband uses 2 liter bottles to make bug traps. We all try to do our parts!

I recycle everything …bottles, newspaper, store adds, all paper products, any and everything that i can recycle…… i always use re-usable shopping bags every time i go shopping… Im really big on those re-usable bags, i even have my whole family using them!!!!!!!!
I save water by drinking wine. Then I recycle the bottles!
With a family of five we have to recycle….we start with our cans, bottles, and plastic…and of course all those papers we buy!!!
Like most people I recycle at home, but I am very thankful to work for a company that has a true recycling program in the workplace. We all receive a recycle bins in every office and common areas. Once a month we go out in to the community where our business is located and clean up trash, mostly along a river. We are in a city, so we have also gotten on board with another community program to plant trees. It feels good to do our part for the planet but to be supported by an employer to do this is even greater!
I recycle everything I possibly can — and am teaching my kids (ages 1, 4 and 5) to do the same! They always ask whether something goes in the trash or recycling before ridding of it. We have two big recycling bins and it’s so simple with our town’s streamline recycling program (all items in the same bin)!
I learned recycling from my dad, who passed away 33 years ago, growing up he gathered all medals, and melted them down. We wold go where all the wild berries, chestnuts and veggies grew wild and pick them, we also would go to the potatoes fields and pick up all those the machine missed. These days I recycle, and use a hot and cold cup all day so we don’t have all those dirty cups and only run the dish washer once a week. Every little bit helps.
I not only recycle at home (love recycle bank) but also take the work stuff home.
We recycle newspapers, glass bottles, plastic bottles, cans, cereal boxes, cardboard boxes and other things that we can recycle.
We recycle practically everything! Our weekly “garbage” only needs to be taken out about every other week, but our recycling overflows! We try to use as much as possible for crafts, for example, the weekly newspaper leftovers have been being saved for an upcoming birthday, for use as a homemade pinata. We take all of the kids one-sided finished school notes, homework, notifications, etc, and print coupons and such on the blank side (the grocery stores haven’t complained so far!). Our small city of Newington is very family oriented, and environmentally conscious- our schools use email for most teacher-to-parent and vise/versa communications, and they organize a school wide “phone book” for birthday parties, etc that is also done by electronic download. We are constantly looking for new ways to reuse, reduce, and recycle!
I recycle everything I can and encourage those around me to do the same!
We recycle everything from newspaper to plastic at home! Awesome giveaway, thanks!
I recycle all plastic, donate clothing and toys
i have 2 small children and we do our part everyday, whether it is picking up cans and trash on our street to using no chemical cleaners. Also we recycle all the paper in our house to the school boxes which is suppost to give the school a cut, who really knows if they do….we have to keep the world clean if we want our great great grandchildren to be able to live comfotably.
We recycle everything in our family…. glass, cardboard, plastic and paper.
composting!! we do this all year! because we are primarily vegetarian, we can. and the best perk – we NEVER waste a grain of food! not to mention that we grow our own totally organic food in the process with home made compost for about half the year!
I joined a local freecycle yahoo group! Instead of throwing still useful stuff out, you offer them for free and they get a new home instead of the landfill!
We recycle all that we can! We donate toys, clothes and furniture that we don’t use any more to be reused by someone else. We use reusable bags when we shop. We also planted a garden so we can just walk out back and pick our own fresh veggies!
We recycle a whole ton of stuff since our community started single stream recycling–I love it! We use re-usable bags too.
We recycle everything we can, use the clothesline and use cloth diapers!
Our family is making strides toward less of a carbon footprint. Our latest step has been solar heating water for washing dishes and adding to laundry. We use the big old black water bag that sits in our attic for a few hours…piping hot!
We recycle bottles and newspaper
compost, recycle, hang laundry, grow our own food, and donate
I recycle pastic bottles/containers, glass bottles, and reuse plastic bags from grocery store (when I forget reusable ones!), reuse washed ziploc bags, recycle newspapers, reuse funny pages for wrapping paper & don’t have enough money to fix air conditioner & so can’t use it! Pray for cool summer! (last year wasn’t fun!). Compost grass clippings and walk 1/3 mile to bus stop whenever possible! (5 times / day)
I make costumes out of old card board boxes. My daughter was a “Motts For Tots” juice box made from a cardboard box and the tube from wrapping paper was the straw.
I’m so big on recycling. Of course I use reusable shopping bags. I just cut up old shirts and sewed the bottom to make bags or it a shirt has a nice pattern I’ll use to to make flower hair bows for all the little girls in my life. We recycle our newspapers, cans, bottles, etc… My family has recently started a compost for our garden. You can recycle almost anything. I turned old coffee cans into ribbon dispensers. It makes bow making so much easier. We try to walk places as much as possible but in upstate NY it isn’t always possible so we will take public transportation in the winter. Not only do we save a ton of money on gas we are helping the environment.
I do my part in recycling by re-using the plastic sleeve the newspaper comes in, to use as doggie doo-doo bags. I wash out tin cans and place in the recycling bin, which is collected by the city every two weeks. I put the contents of my shredder into a paper bag and put in recycle bin. I recycle all my newspapers, magazines, and junk mail (after removing personal data). Thanks!
I recycle everything I can and reuse as much as possible, also!
Our family recycle everything we can. I would love to not have to wash plates for a year.
I use empty containers in any way I can think of- I use the ones with lids to store small art and craft supplies, I make art from otherwise “useless” materials and create lesson plans for art projects that involve re-purposing materials aka “upcycling” for my future students (Anyone hiring an art teacher in New York?? haha). Currently, I’m saving all of our empty cereal boxes to make organizers for my papers (which I believe I actually saw on LRWC!).
My fiance and I both re-use plastic bottles for the gym. He uses plastic juice bottles (loves the ocean spray ones!) and I use the smaller soda bottles. we reuse the cardboard tubes from toilet paper, paper towels, wrapping paper and aluminum foil as chew toys for our guinea pigs- as long as they don’t have any glue residue on them. We recently bought some tube free TP and while it’s great for the environment, I think the piggies are a little angry about it! We also line their cage with newspaper so we don’t have to use as much bedding.
We use Freecycle to list any usable items that we don’t want or need and also try to search that before we buy new- we have received a 4 drawer filing cabinet, a brand new box spring, 2 cat towers, a kitchen table, most of the hangers in my closet, board games and more- all for free and kept out of landfills! (And we’ve gotten rid of probably twice as much.) If the items are in really great condition and in-season, I’ll try to consign them instead but if they don’t sell I tell the store owner to donate them.
We’ve also switched over to canvas grocery bags (and use the plastic ones we get when we buy meat as trash can liners), use CFL light bulbs and energy star appliances, switched to a non-electric dehumidifier, stopped buying bottled water and carpool to work. 🙂 Instead of throwing away coupons that I don’t use, I leave them on the shelves at the grocery store for others to use.
And of course, we return whatever cans and bottles we can for their deposits. Anything recyclable that what we can’t re-use, donate, give away or consign gets sent to the recycling facility!
Yikes! I didn’t realize how long this was! Hope some of the ideas can help other people out!
We recycle everything we use from plastic, to aluminum to cardboard. But mostly to we have been trying not to use as many disposable items! We purchased a new dishwasher that uses less water to more efficiently wash the dishes 🙂
We recycle whatever we can and always take my reusable bags with me to do any shopping!
I recycle all my cans and bottles
I use curbside recycling and recycle all of my paper, plastic, newspapers etc.
We have to pay for the recycling in our city, so you can rest assured that we get our monies worth and recycle everything we can.
besides making sure to separate all my recyclables at home… I’ve started carrying reusable bags to the grocery store so I will not need/use the plastic ones..
I recycle everything. We bring soda/beer cans and bottles to supermarkets for refunds. We recycle paper, plastic, glass, etc weekly. I also re-use plastic bags and when I go shopping for groceries, I use canvas bags.
I have faithfully recycled since the 1970’s, long before it was required. Presently I have a rainbarrel for water and I compost too.
We recycle everything! I also avoid plastic shopping bags whenever I can!
We have a compost bin where we put our kitchen scraps. It makes for wonderful compostt which can be used to fertilize flowers. The kids enjoy composting too!

reusable shopping bags are a must!!!
we recycle all of our bottles and cans (mostly scored from all the great coupons we hear about from LWRC) and make sure we use are re-usable bags (which we also scored compliments of sales we learned about via LWRC) Recently I made a whole buch of party favors out of recycled baby food jars that were a huge hit.
We live in a condo so we save produce scraps in the fridge and add to my mom’s compost pile @ her home. We also recycle everything we can here @ home using the recycling dumpsters.
I recycle all my paper, cans and bottles.
I recycle everything. And when I print one coupon, I will flip the paper over and print another on the back.
In my home we reuse boxes (of any size) for important papers that can’t be shredded, we use empty milk containers for water in the fridge and we reuse plastic bags (when we forget to take out reusable bags) for garbage. everything else gets sorted and put out to be recycled
I recycle everything! In my home we follow the three R’s Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
I have two trash cans and I use one for plastic and the other one for regular trash.
We recycle everything in our house down to tying up our newspapers. We of course use our LRWC bags when shopping. My husband even picks up trash during his bike rides 🙂
My family and I recycle newspapers, plastic bottles, etc.
I try and recycle as much as I can!
I recycle everything I can. I use only one trash bag a week now. Before recycling I used 5-6. My recycle bin is huge and is always overflowing at the end of the week. I’m happy to hear that so many people are recycling now.

I do my best to recycle everything I can at home, including bottles, newpapers, etc. We grow a lot of vegetables so we use the compost to keep our soil rich. I have 3 college boys home for the summer so recyclable, strong paper products would be a life saver for us!
hi – i am so into recycling, especially with my two toddlers. they love craft, so i try hard to re-purpose things we’re recycling, like making paper beads out of a magazine to make necklaces as christmas gifts, using toilet paper rolls as ‘pots’ to plant into the garden, taking large, stained t-shirts and turning them into pajamas. we love to be as imaginative as we can when it comes to recycling!
I edge all of my gardens with newspaper sections before applying mulch in the spring. I just made a new hosta garden and covered the entire ground around the hostas with newspaper, brown paper bags and cardboard boxes. Then I put old leaves from last year over the top as a mulch. I have a fern garden where I rake all fallen leaves in the fall and that is where I get my leaf mulch. I also dig banana peels into the ground around my roses, and use coffee grounds around my blueberries and hydrangeas. They love the acid. I put crushed eggshells into African violet soil and use hard-boiled egg water on the violets as well. It seems to help them bloom. My house plants also really love water from the Beta fish bowl.
We recycle almunium cans, newspapers, catalogs as well as glass and plastic bottles. I liked Sensibles on Facebook. Thanks for this fabulous giveaway.
We recycle all household items that can be recycled and bring our own grocery bags.
We use our own shopping totes, water bottles and do recycle at home.
We are avid recyclers we have four seperate bins for glass plastic metal and paper / cardboard. we also recycle electronics, fabrics, batteries, etc.
I have a childcare center and we use many recylcble materials inn art projects. we just recently made eggcrate caterpillars and reused baby food jars for a votive holder craft.
We have always recycled bulky items like laundry soap bottles and cereal boxes. But recently we have been paying attention to everything we throw away all the way down to the smallest yogurt cup. Even the little things make a big difference!
I line my kids hamster cages with the paper I shred. Then I put in paper recycle bin. Double recycle!
Recycle anything and everything can be recycled.
Kiddos love helping out and have said many times people are littering and people have felt obligated to pick up the trash. Also you should recycle that and then they have helped others learn to recycle.
My newest recycle is learning about a company called Lily Bloom their purses are made from recycled plastic bottles. I love them they are stylish and they are helping the enviornment at the same time. YEAH !
I recycle all my paper, glass and plastic products.
We recycle and re-purpose anything we can. We shop at thrift stores and donate alot to goodwill.

I recycle everything in my house possible. We also compost and use rain barrels for watering our vegetable and flower gardens. I only have a small bag of garbage at the end of each week.
We have a town recylce program, use reusable shopping totos, reuse ziploc bags, use tuberware storage containers instead of wrapping things in plastic or aluminium foil.
I always use reusable shopping bags.

We recycle everything we possibly can. We have cut down our trash to one small bag a week and now put out two large recycling bins plus some paperbags filled with recycling when bins are filled! 🙂
We recycle anything and everything that we are allowed to recycle. I also likes Sensibles on Facebook.
Our town now has single stream recycling so almost all of our food containers/packaging and all paper can be recycled. I also compost our food scraps/peels to use in our garden. Now that the little one is out of diapers, I hardly have any true “trash”.
I recycle as much as I can, plastics, glass, paper, etc. I even go through my husband’s trash can to pull out anything that can be recycled! We also try to reuse or repurpose things before trashing them!
I know paper plates are convenient and make less dishes but we try to use the real thing whenever possible. We reuse everything we can…paper plates, plastic baggies, cups within reason.
I recycle and compost, but I don’t like doing dishes and neither does my boyfriend, so we buy paper plates (when we can). We’re hardly home so we try to use and re-use the paper plates for variety of stuff.
I’m lucky to live in a town with full recycling. I recycle EVERYTHING possible. My husband is not as diligent as I am so I’ve gone in the garbage & taken things out. I’ve also taught my son to look at the bottom of items to see if there’s a “triangle”. He has been so good, where he has yelled at my husband to put things in the recycle. We have become much better as a family!
we recycle all the products our town will take, reuse containers for new purposes, use cloth bags often carrying them with us daily, reuse printer paper, use energy efficient appliances and lightbulbs,
and belong to recycling programs such as recyclebank
I have separate bins for recycling paper, plastic and paper in the house. We often use reusable grocery bags when shopping.
We recycle everything with 6 kids ages 6,5,4,3,2,1. The best is that they are girl boy girl boy girl boy so there is always something for everyone!
This is a great giveaway since the plates are from recycled materials and are fully compostable.- very interesting! We compost everyday in the backyard but are now gradually transferring the current compost (an open area with chicken wire around my large yard that came with the house) to my new bin. I picked this up at Big Lots for approx. $36 & it’s much more attractive w/ a lid that closes – lol.
Also, I always recycle plastic wrappers that come with the newspaper. One would be surprised to see how many quickly accumulate every week. I just went to Walgreens and did this before writing this.
We recycle & free cycle. I also buy most of my children’s clothes second hand. I can find most anything yard saleing & save a bunch!
We recycle everything our town collects.
We also like to reuse and find new uses for the items we have. Plastic bags for lining the trash bins, carrying dirty sneakers, and using the cardboard boxes from the water bottles cases makes carry cupcakes into school a lot easier. No need to buy those expensive tins.
I am always telling my family, besides recycling the obvious, the packaging our food comes in should be recycled too and not trashed. We have a new recycling collector hired by our township and they collect so many more plastics than our last contractor did. I am reminding my family constantly to check the recycling # on the packaging and check with our township list as to what can be recycled. You would be surprised.
We recycle plastic, glass, aluminum, tin, newspapers and magazines. In addition we compost which cuts down a great deal on the garbage. We re-use, repurpose all we can.
My family trys to recycle as much as possible. My kids love to help. We brought down our garbage bags down to 1 and a half for a family of 6:)
Reduce, reuse and recycle is our motto!
I recycle anything I can! I’m always looking the the triangle to make sure it is recyclable! Here’s to saving the environment!
I have found that reusing is just as fabulous as recycling. I really try to do it whenever possible. I take old diaper boxes and use them to store the kids “little toys” instead of buying those plastic totes. Saves money & protecting the earth one box at a time!!
Using my Living Rich with coupons canvas bags every time i shop and recycling everything we can!!
My family recycle all of our newspapers, cans and bottles. We recycle so much, our cans overflow!
Most of the time I use reuseable cloh bags at stores. I also wash and reuse most of my ziploc bags. We try to use it up and wear it out before we throw anything away. My famiy has be composting our scrapes and this has cut down the amount of garabe we have. We also try to recycle as much as possible.
We recycle everything!
We try to store leftovers in glass bowls with lids instead of plastic bags and use containers for snacks on the go.
I like Sensibles on fb!
Everything that possibly can goes in the recycling bins at both home and work.
When I have my lunch at work, instead of putting items in the trash I bring them home so I can recycle them. Im not sure if they do at work so I like to make sure.
The only thing I need is a compost barrel, other than that we recycle almost everything. Our trash has gone down to less than one 13 gallon can per week for a family of 4. So not too bad. My husband would love these plates as I make him use regular dinnerware and he hates to load the dishwasher! makes me laugh!
ok so I have noticed that now that I coupon I have more stuff which I love but also dislike because that means slightly more clutter. In order to compensate for this I recycle things that I didn’t before and try to find more ways to reuse bottles, bags and other items.
I have curbside recycling in my city every other week. In between, I also take loads of extra plastic grocery bags to the receptacles at the grocery store to recycle them as well.
I recycle everything I can and I compost too.
We always carry our own shopping bags. My 13-year old has done some research about plastic and marine life–we never want turtles to eat those bags so we try not to take them out of the store!

I recycle everything and I use the same techniques as the people above. The importance is to impart this lesson to our children and future generations as the earth is a very fragile place. Deforestation, land, air sea pollution are just a few issues that affect us all. I want to be a role model to my four year old son therefore I recycle.
We recycle paper, plastic, metal, glass, etc. Even if it’s a small scrap of paper, it’s easy enough to throw it into the recycling. We also compost…which really helps cut down on our garbage. Also helps with the smell of the garbage during the summer months! Gross, but true!
I finally started to use my free bags from ShopRite instead of plastic ones to help the environment.
I likes Sensibles on Facebook 🙂
Recycle everything we can, paper, plastic, glass, aluminum etc. Return out soda cans. And bring out own bags to the store.
In addition to the normal recycling we always reuse anything possible and whatever we can not reuse ourselves we freecycle so someone else can. My husband and I ride our bikes or walk to work instead of driving when the weather is nice. We take our whole family for walks around the neighborhood with bags picking up litter. We try the best we can to reduce the amount of energy we use and always buy used furniture and clothes.
I recycle my cans and plastic bottles weekly. I bring reusable bags to the grocery store. I also purchase recycled TP and aluminum foil. Every little bit helps!
I don’t use plastic bags (we only use reusable bags).
I recycle, glass, metal, cardboard, newsprint, junk mail. Our community even has recycle days and takes computers, tv’s and other electronics, propane tanks, chemicals, . (which I took advantage of this year). I visited my daughter an dgot her recycling and took her overflowing garbage can down to I bag and many many recyclables.
I recycle as much as I can. I just recently started saving the juice boxes from Capri Sun to send in so my kids’ elementary school gets money.

Hi,
We recycle plastic, glass, and newspapers . It’s always fun to see the little kids helping too 🙂
we have 1 large recycling bin for cardboards and 2 plastic containers for plastics and glass containers. Every two weeks our bins are at the curb for collection. I also use recycled bags at ShopRite (when I can remember) and use the recycled lunch bags for the kids lunches. Oh but best of all, I recycle my 4th graders school papers to print my coupons 🙂
My family and I recycle almost everything. We grow a garden so all our composting is done at home. Papers/bottles/cans anything we can recycle we do.
We recycle everything we can, but before we recycle we reuse! It’s fun for the kids to come up with clever ways of reusing containers and other items. Rinsed used paper plates make great templates for all sorts of crafts!
We recycle paper, plastic, cardboard, glass. We pack our lunches in re-usable containers and bags. We are striving to do more all the time.
In our home, we recycle bags from our newspaper for catlitter poops, use filter water instead of bottles, make our own compose with food scrapes, eggshells for our seedlings, use recycle bags at all our stores/markets, make bird food holders from cat food cans, use a washdin in our sink for soaking utensils and small dishes instead of running h2o. We added rain barrels to catch our gutter water from rain/snow just to name a few. We try to help any way we can. We love this Earth!
I work at a thrift store, so we recycle clothing, housewares, furniture, use donated plastic and paper bags. At home we recycle batteries, electrical items, paper, plastic and glass.
my favorite shopping is at thrift shops and I generally never have paper, plastic or styrofoam plates and bowls, but being eco-friendlier, I’m so eager to try them
We recycle and I use reusable bags when I shop. Plus, most of our clothing is bought @ consignment shops and thrift stores. thx
We reuse/recycle just about anything for arts and crafts time in our house.
We try to re-use any containers we can at home!
Besides recycling the usual newspapers, glass, cans, and plastic, I reuse almost everything for my crafting.
I try to recycle and reuse EVERYTHING I can. I am a teacher so we always make cool projects with recyclable products. Right now we are making a murual made up of thousands of bottle caps!!!!
We make sure that all of the magazines that come to our house with the free subscription deals are used as much as possible for craft projects at home and at school. The girls are 3 and 6 and help to break down any paper or cardboard boxes and their job is to collect them and place them in the new large recycling bin.
I <3 to recycle. magazines (that i get cheap thanks to living rich with coupons) and now newspapers too that i get for the coupons!!!
I am really adamant about using re-usable grocery bags every time I shop. I keep them in my car and always remember to bring them into the store with me, I love them and save plastic bags at the same time!
Well I wish I could recycle but I live in a building that does not recycle
I’m all about recycling! I’m a teacher so any left over worksheets that don’t get used go right into my bag and brought home to use for printing out coupons on the back! Hey- I get full use out of everything!
We recycle and I use reusable bags when I shop.
I participate in my apartment building’s recycling program.
At home we recycle everything we can, like empty food cans/containers, old newspapers, expired coupons, and empty food boxes. We also bring recyclables to stores that have recycling bins for their customers, like old light bulbs to Lowes and plastic bags to Shoprite. Also my 11 yr old returns empty soda cans and water bottles that he has collected from our house and from his grandparents house.
I save all Birthday cards or holiday cards for school projects , they are fun & colorful & glue very well .
We donate all of the clothes that we don’t want and are in great condition. I buy biodegradable diapers but am about to give cloth diapers a shot. We recycle cans, paper and plastic and reuse anything that allows us too.
I try to find a use for EVERYTHING. It makes my family think I’m a little nuts, but who cares, LOL, LOL. After finding out it takes 700 years for a soda bottle to biodegrade, I’ve even stopped my car and picked them up off the side of the road and put them in the nearest recycle bin I come across. I didnt always recycle, and now I wish I’d started a long time ago.
I am so lucky to have the BEST recycling center in my town! Not only do we recycle the normal bottles, cans, newspapers, junk mail at curbside. We also recycle batteries, light bulbs, plastic bags, oil, tires and TV’s. Plus any metal, plastic or electronic item you can drop off, they will deconstruct it and recycle the parts accordingly. Not to mention the best FREE compost, topsoil and wood chips from everyone’s yard debris! The greatest benefit is everything we recycle helps to pay for our property taxes!
We recycle glass, plastic containers, boxes, and of course newspapers!
I recycle everything that recycling service takes. All the plastic bags I recycle at the grocery store, so as bottles/cans. But most important – I’m trying to reduce the waste! If you can get the job done with less of a product, why use more? For example, ask yourself if you really need 3 sheets of paper towels to wipe something off? Can you use 2 or 1? Do you really need to pack one time in a bag at the grocery store or double bag a loaf of bread? (I can never understand that).
I’m also trying to buy green cleaners that’s better for environment.
I recycle every single can I have or see at work. I use dish towels in my kitchen instead of paper towels and I reuse paper for all the coupons I print.

We ‘reuse’ lots of our ‘trash’ by using it in art projects for the kids. Soda bottles, toilet paper tubes and even some of the carboard from the ceral boxes can all be made into great new craft projects.
At my house, any thing that can be recycled, we do it, we are very environmentally safe. 🙂
I teach my kids to turn off the water while brushing teeth and washing dishes.

I keep a large jar in the kitchen where I put all of our coffee grounds, tea bags, potato and carrot peelings, even bits of paper. When it is full, one of the kids brings it out to our compost pile in the yard. I love that Sensibles are eco-friendly, since they could even go in the compost pile!
I recycle paper, glass and plastic. I only use green bags when going to the stores. I turn off the water when brushing teeth and take only 5 minute showers. With the exception of the refrigerator, electrical items are plugged in only when being used.
My family of two boy and a husband we throw away to many juice bags/ soda bottles than we need to. So what I’m doing to be green is we all have our on water/soda reusable bottle. That we pour all of our drinks in before we go to sports games, just doing errands with mom and etc. We have saved not only money buy not buying individual bottles of juice/soda,but we are reducing our carbon footprint.

With four school age children we have plenty to recycle and do so in very creative ways. One thing to remember is that your local schools and libraries are always in need and very grateful for whatever you can pass along to them.

We started to compost and my wife only uses recycleable bags for shopping!

January 1st we tore out kitchen apart for a complete make over. Did not have a sink , dish washer or oven for 3 months. Thank God it was a warm winter, because we used the grill , microwave and crock pot to cook our meals.
To make a long story short, I was buying alot of paper plates, cups and utensils. I came across sensibles and they were the best of them all. In our town we just got new recycleable bins and all of paper, cans and bottles goes into to one bin. Which makes it easy to recycle. I will be buyng sensible for my mom . She lives down the shore and when we have our fourth of July party I will be buying Sensibles. There will be a recycle bin for our guest to place out side for all of our bottles and paper plates . Its great to have paper plates to hold our food and there great for the environment. I’ts a win, win situation for us and the environment.
