Living in NYC, Recycled your Batteries or Face a Fine

Beginning on December 5, 2011, New York residents are required to recycle their rechargeable batteries—including cell phone, digital camera and rechargeable alkaline batteries—or pay a fine. The law was signed by Gov. David Patterson last year, and also mandates that retailers that sell rechargeable batteries must accept them back from their customers for recycling purposes. The fines for state residents for rechargeables found in the trash start at $50 for the first offense, $100 for a second within 12 months of the first, and $200 for the third or more offenses within a year of the first.

Say no to junk mail!

Each year American households receive a total of 104.7 billion pieces of junk mail or 848 pieces of junk mail per household, requiring 6.5 million tons of paper.

Not only are these a nuisance they are also a tremendous source of waste as trees, chemicals, and water are used during production and printing, and fuel energy is wasted during the delivery and recycling process.

However, 99 percent of those textiles are reusable, and options for reusing old clothing abound.
