Important Recycling Facts

Recycling touches nearly every aspect of our lives. Even those people who do zero recycling still get the benefits from the efforts of those who do. Not only does recycling have an impact on our energy use but going green means finding alternatives for common things that make lives better. Consider these important recycling facts:

new-world-recycle-1383778-m

Think about the air we breathe on a regular basis and not just outdoors. The EPA estimates indoor levels of pollutants, on average, are 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor. That translates into 50% of all illnesses that are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air.

What about cleaning solutions? There are areas of concern there as well. One out of every three cleaning chemicals used in US schools has been shown to cause health or environmental problems. That is why it is important that we switch to greener cleaning products. Do you know what your kid’s school uses to keep things clean? Around the house, you could be exposed to over sixty-two chemicals in the cleaning products that you use.

One way to help the environment is to save trees. Trees purify the air and prevent global warming by absorbing up to 800 lbs. of CO2 every year. Trees also intercept up to 36% of the rainfall around them, minimizing floods and water pollution caused by storm water runoff. That makes recycling paper even more vital. One ton of recycled paper translates into at least 17 trees being saved. Doesn’t sound like a lot until you consider we recycle billions of tons of paper each year.

What about water use? That is another area where recycling and conservation can make a big difference. The average American uses between 80 and 100 gallons of water a day while two thirds of the people in the world use less than 13 gallons per day. Even if you managed to wash one less load of laundry each month, you can save nearly 360 gallons of water per year.

Are there other ways you can recycle around the house? Think about who to hire when tossing out big items like furniture, appliances and e-waste. The best recycling partner for that type of junk removal is Junk King Richmond. They’re dedicated to keeping as much of what they collect out of landfills as possible. Recycling your junk isn’t complicated when you give that job to Junk King Richmond.

The Right Age

Every toy that is sold today comes with an age range. This helps parents decide what toy is appropriate for their young ones. A lot of this has to do with choking hazards. Toys and games with small parts become a tempting target to taste for young ones. Even if you buy a toy that is right for a ten-year-old, the two-year-old will get their hands on it, too.

The age range also helps with frustration. Some toys need special skills to operate and a young one could become frustrated when they can’t figure things out. That is just adding much more stress on Christmas morning!

Keep Batteries Away

Every parent knows the importance of having batteries ready on Christmas morning. It’s a good idea to stock up before the big day. Many toys operate with button batteries. These need to be watched over carefully as they pose a choking hazard for young ones.

Don’t Forget Helmets

If this is the Christmas of a new bike or scooter, then it should also be the Christmas of a safety helmet. Get your kid in the habit of wearing their helmet every time they go out for ride.

Take Extra Precaution in the Kitchen

The holidays a time of lot of baking and cooking in the kitchen. Although your child might have access to the kitchen they need to be constantly watched especially when you’ve got pots on the stove. It helps if you can turn those pot handles away from the edge and out of reach of the younger ones. You should also avoid putting foods on your open oven door to cool off. That’s too easy to tip over. As your kids get older, you can certainly invite them to help you cook and that’s when you get the teach them even more important safety lessons.
