  12. Buy recycled • Takes less energy to manufacture a recycled product • Buy in bulk. • Buy one of something, not 21 of something. • The recyclable logo (three arrows forming a triangle) is fairly common now.

  13. At last Go through your closet. Donate or recycle what you really don't need, then make a pledge not to replace everything you just got rid of. Re-use in creative ways. Be creative in what you use for work, play and leisure. You don't always have to buy new products for activities.
