The three big "Rs" are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Reducing can be accomplished by consciously purchasing an eco-friendly, and keeping it to refill instead of buying new bottles. As for recycling, almost every community has some type of curbside recycling, or local place you can take your used plastics. The creativity really comes in to play with the third R, reuse. Statistics say only about 20 percent of plastic water bottles are actually recycled. which leaves about 80 percent in landfills or the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is an island of garbage that stretches for hundreds of miles in the Pacific Ocean.
There are countless ideas for reuse that range from décor to function to gardening and much more. You can keep your garden hydrated with a recycled water bottle lawn sprinkler, create a year round cutting garden for your kitchen with a recycle bottle indoor herb garden, or protect your iPod with a recycled water bottle iPod holder.
