"We can’t just recycle our way out of the climate emergency; we urgently need to shift mindsets and make reuse and consumption reduction a social norm." (Allison Ogden-Newton OBE, chief executive of Keep Britain Tidy) The message from KBT of "Recycling is good, but we can do better" is excellent. Every glass jar or tin can put into the recycling system gets smashed, crushed and melted. That squanders the energy and resources that went into making it in the first place. We keep on making things, then we smash, crush and melt them ... to make them all over again. Recycling has been a vital step in the journey towards a circular economy (and it will always be there, we will always need to recycle), but it is an energy-intensive process that decimates the value of the original item. However, I do need to acknowledge that, while it is easy to point at the waste management sector and say that things could be more 'circular', the first link in the chain is me and my own purchasing habits. Small changes, multiplied across the population, can make a big difference. I recently made a switch to using a shampoo bar which came in a small cardboard box. That's at least one less plastic bottle in the system. I'm not expecting praise for that, especially when I reveal that I bought an air fryer at the weekend. Did I need an air fryer? I can justify it from an energy point of view, far better to use an air fryer than to use our main oven. But we are all part of the materialist consumer-driven society. The responsibility rests with me to consider how I can consume less. Happy Monday, everyone! #circulareconomy #wastemanagement #resourcemanagement https://lnkd.in/eH4RVzhK

Disposing of waste in a clean and environmentally friendly manner is hard. From overrun landfills to bigger issues like this “garbage patch” in the Pacific Ocean, we clearly have some problems surrounding what to do with our garbage. Recycling is one solution and a great way to practice sustainability and conservation from home. Most cities, including Louisville, even have recycling pickup programs to make recycling as easy as possible. However, sometimes recycling can be confusing. Keeping track of everything you can and can’t recycle can leave you feeling lost, and may prevent some from recycling at all. That’s why we’ve put together this simple guide of what you can and can’t recycle here in Louisville, Kentucky. Check out our blog to learn more!
