I have learned that in highly developed countries, plastic bag use is getting unpopular. For one thing, consumers bring their own containers when they shop. They have their bags or reused plastic bags. Their governments back plastic bags yet these are not for free but for sale. That way, shoppers think to put aside their bucks just for a plastic bag.
Fast-food restaurants abroad have tried to make use of real utensils made of aluminium and porcelain. This way, the problem of disposing of rubbish is being reduced.
Consequently, this must be what the Filipino should do, too.
Unbroken glass containers can be colour sorted for recycling. Beverage bottles like of cola can be sold to a nearby shop. Plastic ones can be used as plant pots. I tried it for bonsais, bougainvilleas, and some hibiscuses. Brandy bottles can be used to refrigerate drinking water.
Clean dry newspapers and newspaper inserts. Bundle newspapers securely in large sacks or tie with twine. Keep dry. Or else, it will decompose. This can be used for starting a charcoal to smoulder—or to wrap anything. Used newspapers can be used to clean glass windows and tables. Local shops in local markets buy these by the kilo to wrap fragile products or ice cream.
Empty metal cans, caps, lids, bands, and foil can be recycled repeatedly. These days, there are roving buyers who buy junks.
Don’t throw grocery bags. Use again bags until they are torn. Use old bags to pick up dog or cat waste, or when going to buy some vegetables, fruit, fish, and meat from a wet market.
Computers, eyeglasses, household goods, clothes, toys, and books can be donated to charity. Give them to a repair shop. These may be behind the times, yet to others these can still be useful.
Recycle our resources. Recycle our future. Anyhow, recycling is not too much work,we do not have to clean cans, jars, and bottles or take away labels before we recycle them—we just empty out the gluts. Recycling is as simple as trashing, but so much more responsible.
