Tell me I’m not the only one who has a lazy day! Tell me that you get tired of the dishwashing sometimes too and resort to using disposable tableware. Come on I know you do! Well even though I use it, it doesn’t mean that it makes me feel good about myself. In fact, when I grab that bag of foam plates from the shelf, it usually makes me feel very guilty about the harm it causes to our environment. Sure, I could use paper plates, but come on, have you tried using a paper plate to serve dinner to your family on? They just do not work, the plate gets soggy and falls apart before you’re even done, talk about embarrassing! That is until now! Hefty® Basics™ paper plates just might change the way you look at disposable tableware!
Hefty® Basics™ paper plates are stronger than everyday plates at a value price, and provide a great choice for people interested in an environmental optional. The plates are biodegradable in-home composting and free of inks, dyes, or coating.
They are available in two sizes: a 10 1/4″ 24 pack and a 8 5/8″ 45 pack, to accommodate a variety of serving needs.
We’ve been using the ones we received to review and I have to say I am impressed! The tomato sauce for our Perogies, which would usually kill a normal paper plate, was no match for the Hefty basics! Our plates stayed intact throughout the meal and didn’t peel or seep through the bottom at all. I am happy with the simple design of the tableware and love the fact that they do not have any un-needed dyes. As the packaging says, these plates truly are “strong and durable“!
Hefty® Basics™ is helping our Earth even more by partnering with The Arbor Day Foundation. Together they are striving for a goal of planting 10,000 new trees! How can you help? Visit Hefty(R) Basics(TM) Tableware on Facebook and “Like” them. For every 10 Likes they receive, the Arbor Day Foundation will plant one tree. Let’s make a difference together!

I just started a recycle paper bin at my work. Its going great so far.

We are responsible in that we don’t throw garbage on the ground and we pick up after ourselves; but we don’t share the same views as the politically-correct in that man can destroy the earth. We believe that only God can do that. We also don’t recycle. My husband worked in recycling, and we are aware that most of the stuff people are separating for recycling ends up getting dumped right back in with the regular garbage. There is not much money in recycling and very little gets bought back.
@Denise B., I have wondered about this as well since I have a few friends who say that they’ve seen the garbage truck dump all four of the separate recycle bins right into the same truck at once. It’s kind of discouraging! Thanks for entering and good luck!

I try to “trip-chain” when I run errands. I go in a circle and try to do them all at once, rather than back and forth, back and forth. Saves time, too!
We recycle cans and paper products. Thanks!

We try not to buy drinks in the individual plastic bottles, but in large ones and transfer them to our drink bottles.
We have a recycle container next to the trash in the kitchen and everyone is recycling more since we don’t have to take the recycle to the garage every time.

We recycle far more than we throw away in our household, and food waste goes out with the yard waste. We use a special can and bio-bags. My husband wants to get a worm composting box — we call it his “worm toy” — for the back yard, but I’m not sure I’m on board with that!

we have started using reusable snack and sandwich bags
We recycle as much as we can. We make it easy to recycle at work by having the separate bins in several locations so it’s very convenient.
I’ve been aiming to recycle anything and everything going out of my household that is recyclable as well as attempting to buy products that either have reduced packaging, recycling materials in the packaging or are recyclable / energy efficient.

I try to recycle whenever possible. I use my newspapers to put under mulch when doing flower beds. It really works to kill the grass instead of using weed fabric… try it in a vegetable garden in the walkways with leaves from the previous fall over it… works wonders.
I try to be environmentally friendly by recycling & reusing everything I can and paying attention to the packaging when I buy products.

We are big recyclers. I put a box at work for the employees to put their recycling in and then I bring it home and put in our recycling can at home. Now everyone recycles at work instead of throwing it in the trash.
