Tons of plastic, artificial Christmas trees, tinsel, garlands - all this finds the refuge in the garbage tanks almost immediately after the holiday. This is the wrong and destructive to the ecology method of disposal of toxic materials. Tell how to do better.
Listed the main principles of environmentally friendly disposal in video
1 divided and throw off in parts
Packaging paper is disposed of differently, depending on its composition. For example, materials with gilding and similar decorations that are applied over, not glued, sort like another paper garbage. But packaging with glitter or other artificial decor needs to be disposed of together with plastic waste. Please note if there are paper labels on plastic bags, they are important to collect separately into the paper container.
2 Use in everyday decor
In order not to dispose of toxic garlands after the holidays, try to find them in the house. Old New Year can be used to decorate, for example, as an option for decorative illumination or as additional lighting in the garden in summer.
3 Sprinkle in the yard
The most eco-friendly is a live tree in a pot. It can be adjusted for the new year, and after growing at home until spring. When the snow melts, the tree move to the open soil in the garden or in the courtyard at home. The pot can be used in everyday life for storing or transplanting room plants.
4 Pass to Zoo
The fired live tree can be disposed of in different ways. The most unusual - to pass in the zoo. For example, the Moscow Zoo regularly announces the collection of conifers for their pets. Many of them are not averse to a snack or gnaw fir branches, and elephants adore to play with whole trunks of trees. Track such promotions.
5 Use as long as possible
Artificial Christmas trees are the most difficult for processing. They are produced from different types of plastic, including polyvinyl chloride, which, when recycling heavily pollutes the atmosphere. The complexity lies also in the fact that the composition of the material is often changing. In addition, the complex components are not possible to divide and recycle separately.
The only plus of the artificial Christmas tree in terms of benefits for ecology is in its durability. Unlike lively ate, artificial can be used for several years in a row. In this regard, there is an easy way to save nature - use artificial wood as long as possible and keep it gently.
6 Take advantage of the market for used
If you want to replace an artificial fir, think about buying from hands. In the same way, you can sell your own. The longer artificial models will be used, the less harm to ecology.
7 pass to the vintage store
Here is the same story as with a plastic Christmas tree. It is best to use toys as long as possible. If they deteriorate, you can give to the restoration or repair yourself.
The most environmentally friendly toys of glass, clay, wood and other natural materials are considered. The rest, by the fact that from plastic, it is important to extend the least as possible. For example, try to pass unnecessary to the vintage store or sell on the ad. Try to choose the most high-quality decorations that will not come into disrepair after the new year.
8 Recycle as electrostax
This applies to old LED or lamp garlands. There are no ecologically attributed to them in the neighborhood in the neighborhood, but to the point of reception of old electrical appliances. An organization that is engaged in such a fee must have a license for recycling.
9 Sort as plastic
It is possible to utilize the part of the accessories together with plastic and polyethylene. For example, this category includes all old tinsel and cellophane wrapper.
