Does recycling help decrease global warming effects?
Don’t buy things in packages. Use cloth bags to carry your groceries. Buy groceries that you make into food yourself. Avoid as much processed, pre-packaged stuff as you can. This will do as much as recycling. (cook your own ‘instant’ foods and freeze them for later) Of the things most effective: recycle aluminum cans, find someone you know with a yard and put food scraps on compost piles.
