Erika’s Tips for Reducing, Reusing, & Recycling

Save money and save the environment one mindful and considerate act at a time:

• Do not dispose of reusable furnishings at landfill sites. If you can afford to please donate them or post them for sale on a local community site like kijiji.
• Repair, Renew, and Reuse items whenever possible.
• Reuse Stores like Habitat Humanity, Goodwill, and The Salvation Army are an excellent source for home appliances, furnishings, home décor, organizers, and personal goods. Make them your first stop for Home Staging Items.

Habitat for Humanity helps hardworking Canadians, who earn less than the low income home cut-off, own their own home. Habitat for Humanity builds homes using volunteer labour and donated materials.
