Several times a week a ritual called
"taking out the garbage" is repeated
in nearly every household. Placed in
neatly tied-up trash bags are the un-
wanted fragments of our daily lives.
Once deposited in the dumpster the
garbage is picked up, hauled away to
a landfill for disposal and forgotten
by those who generated it. Texans
throw away about 5.8 pounds of trash
per person each day or over 2,000
pounds per year.
We continue to hear much about
recycling, but there is a step that
comes before recycling—purchasing
products with less packaging and
waste. Terms coined for this concept
are pre-cycling or enviroshopping.
Thirty percent of our household waste
is packaging. Not all of the layers of
packaging are really necessary. Our
job as a consumer is to make wise
selections at the point of purchase. If
you never buy it and bring it into your
home, then you don't have to manage
it, dispose of it or decide if it can be
reused or recycled.
For instance, take your grocery bags
back to the store to keep from having
new ones every time. Look for
packages that use the least amount of
material, avoid those that use several
layers when one would do. Buy
products in the largest quantity pos-
sible in one package.
Buy concentrated products then
dilute them at home in a large reus-
able container; such as fabric softner,
clothes detergent, fruit juices and
liquid soap. Think carefully about
the convenience of a product com-
pared to its environmental impact.
You’ll save energy, conserve re-
sources and reduce pollution and
possibly save money. Help your
community and yourself and practice
pre-cycling strategy.
The Retired and Senior Volunteer
Program, links the spunky and spicy,
they've got what it takes generations

riety of volunteer community needs.

braries, literacy programs, drug pre-
vention education, day care programs,
museums, hospital auxiliary, trans-
portation, home delivered meals, head
