Shop for rechargeable betteries. It uses a lot of different natural elements to make the batteries. So buying recharable batteries will make a big impact on the amount of metals we use.
Like the cycle below, this
is another way to reduce waste. If you make more food than needed, make it leftovers. (Just think about the people who don't have food.) If you always threw away the left overs, it would just end up in those waste piles. It takes a while for the food to degrade and some animals will die because they end up in the dump and eat
the food, that is not necessarily good for them.
Even though the water bottles NOW have less plastic, try to use the reusable bottles.
