Easy Peasy Tip: Replace
By tinychoices | January 30, 2010
You know, for all the talk we do around here about the 4 R’s (Repurpose, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), sometimes it’s just plain time for the 5th R: Replace. If you get to this stage, we know you’ve already thought about ways to fix up what you’ve got or pondered on how to make it workable– but, sometimes it’s just not.
So when it’s time to replace, consider your options. Is there a version made from earth-friendly materials? Can you buy it second-hand? Can you buy the most reliable one possible to extend the life of the new object, and avoid replacement? Take time to make sure you’re getting the best possible item, from all possible angles.
