Easy-to-follow recycling tips

     Following are some easy-to-follow tips that can help each of us
contribute to conservation and help improve the environment.
     * "Precycle" by purchasing products in recyclable containers,
       such as aluminum, steel, glass, paper and cardboard.
     * Make two-sided photocopies.
     * Keep a cloth towel next to the sink to be used instead of paper
       towels.
     * Take grocery and produce bags back to the supermarket and reuse
       them.
     * Use the blank sides of paper to take notes and do scratch work.
     * Since kitchen and yard wastes make up one-quarter of the waste
       produced, make a compost pile to recycle food scraps and yard
       trimmings.
