Going Green? How about Reusing Products?
Reusing is the ultimate hassle-free recycling that makes the environment a lot greener and safer. The internet abounds with solutions for reusing consumer products which one might otherwise dump or recycle.
They are dedicated sites like FixYa, http://www.fixya.com, which provides DIY-minded consumers with real-life solutions to any issue with any consumer product -- from low tech to high tech -- quickly, easily , and at not cost. Whether it's your old Sony Camcorder or IPod you got for your last birthday that are not working, you will be able to find solutions quickly, easily, and at no cost at FixYa.
Here's my take on repair and reuse:
- Reduce the number of used products that go into landfills and recycling facilities.
- Reduce the consumption of water, gas, and other scarce resources that is going into replacing your products.
- Start planning for your dream vacation with the money you have saved by not purchasing new items!
- Giving back to the community: How about fix the product following the advice on Fixya and offer it to low-income or disadvantaged people.
- Make Al Gore and other Environmentalists happy .
- Most importantly, reuse your products to ensure a healthy and safe environment for all of us to live, work and raise our kids.
Let's make sure that we do our part to keep the environment safer for the next generation.
