As if there wasn't enough to feel anxious about with the environment now us "A types" have to think about Precycling. Actually if you do the Three R's (Reduce,Reuse, Recycle) you probably have already considered this and just didn't have a name for it. Precycling means making choices that consider the health of the community near and far. The choices you make from where you live,to how you travel, to what you eat have an effect on the overall living environment. You should definitely reduce the amount you buy, reuse what you can (like glass jars for storage and plastic containers), and recycle everything possible in your community.
*In Hot Springs: Call Earth Angel # 501-321-6911 for clear glass, aluminum, corrugated cardboard, newspaper and Leaf and Mulch pickup
* Plastic #1 and #2 (milk and soda jugs, water bottles, some plastic bags), steel cans, auto batteries, tires,metal objects, office paper (white) go to the county recycling center about 1/4 block past North Moore Road, and Hwy 7north 1/4 mile past Fox Pass cutoff on Hwy 7 on the right.
*Take appliances and T.V.s and household batteries, computers etc. to the intersection of Valley and Runyon for recycling. Call about Refrigeration 312-6921
Precycle tips for the day:
1. Shop local and small business as much as possible.
2. Buy less but buy better quality that will last.
3. Invest in your local community. Shopping local is one way but if you have money or time to give donate that also.
4. Drive less.
5. Buy organic food.
6. Compost
7. Share food and equipment
8. Carpool or use public transportation if available.
Namaste"
