TIP for Monday July 13th, 2009

The strike continues with no end in sight. The garbage piling up is starting to strike some nerves. The best way to deal with the mounds of garbage is to reduce the amount of trash you throw away. Think before you buy. Avoid wasteful and bulky packaging and buy in bulk. If you haven’t already, use a refillable coffee mug or water bottle. Toronto uses over 1 million disposable coffee cups every day. Bringing your own to your fav coffee spot will reduce the amount of coffee cups that are getting left all over the streets. Take a small bag with you when you go out to put any trash in and take home to dispose of. Return your bottles to the LCBO and Beer Store get back the deposit.
