- Buy recycled paper and print on both sides. When using paper in the office, print on both sides of the sheet and recycle the paper when you are finished. By recycling one ton of paper, you can save 17 trees, almost 7,000 gallons of water and more than three cubic yards of landfill space.
- Recycle your outdated technology. According to EPA, Americans throw out two million tons of e-waste each year. Avoid adding to that waste by recycling your old technology. For more information on electronic recycling, visit http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/recycle/ecycling/donate.htm.
- Make recycling bins readily available. Make sure your home and office are outfitted with recycling bins for paper, plastic and metal. Keep them out in the open and label them appropriately. Sometimes the convenience factor is all that is needed.
- Recycle your empty ink and toner cartridges. Almost eight cartridges are thrown out in the United States every second of every day. That's almost 700,000 cartridges per day.
- Buy remanufactured ink and toner cartridges. Each remanufactured cartridge keeps approximately 2.5 pounds of metal and plastic out of landfills and saves about a half gallon of oil.
- Recycle old newspapers laying around the office. When finished reading the newspaper, either leave it for someone else to read or recycle it.
- Look for the recycled option in all the products you buy. It's not just paper that is recycled.
- Buy rechargeable batteries. It takes 1,000 regular batteries to equal the lifespan of one rechargeable battery. When you are discarding your batteries, recycle them.
- Purchase rewritable CDs and DVDs so that you can reuse them from project to project.
- Reuse your morning coffee cup. Or better yet, buy a mug to avoid the waste caused by throwing away the paper or Styrofoam.

The impact of too much plastics waste
1. Environmental Pollution
Trash from various sources can pollute the environment, both terrestrial environments, air and waters. Pollution of land that can be caused by such waste in terms of health as a place to nest and the spread of germs, whereas in terms of beauty, of course declining aesthetics (not eye-catching.),Flood
2. Cause Disease
Places of trash buildup is a good environment for spreading disease animal diseases such as: flies, mosquitoes, rodents, and pathogens (disease causing). The existence of the animals spread the disease easily spread and menajalar into the environment. Diseases such as cholera that, dysentery, typhoid, diarrhea, and malaria.
3. Blockage of water canals and flood
Street waste and household are often scattered and if it rains will carry over into the drains / rivers, resulting in congestion and the resulting flooding river. Further flooding could spread the disease, many drains in the rainy season becomes clogged because people throw garbage disembarang place. Habit of throwing in the river sampaj removed ....

The problem of plastic waste
One of the factors that cause environmental damage to date still remains a "homework" for the nation of Indonesia is the factor of plastic waste disposal. Plastic bags have become waste dangerous and difficult to manage.It may take tens or even hundreds of years to make the former garbage bag is really loose. However, the issue is the negative impact of plastic rubbish turned out by its function as well.So if you know of any danger caused by plastic bags for the environment?It took 1000 years for plastic to decompose by the soil decomposed or broken down completely. This is a very long time. When decomposed, the plastic particles will contaminate soil and groundwater.If burned, plastic garbage will produce toxic fumes that are harmful to health that is if the process is not perfect pembakaranya, the plastic will decompose in the air as dioxins. This compound is very dangerous if inhaled human. The impact of other triggers cancer, hepatitis, inflammation of the liver, nervous system disorders and lead to depression.Plastic bags also cause flooding, due to clogging of water channels, embankments. Resulting in even the worst flood damage the dam turbines.
