The easiest and probably the most effective way that you can help the environment is through recycling. There are plenty of item that you can separate from your trash for recycling. By buying plastic bins it is convenient to separate the recyclable from the trash.

The most popular item to recycle is the aluminum cans, from soda and beer. That is not the only cans that are aluminum, just check your can goods. They might not be aluminum but, most can still be recycled. I bought a can crusher at Harbor Freight about 5 or 6 years ago. I can get a lot of aluminum cans in a bin.
