Holiday Cheat Sheet 2
Here is Tricentris' second holiday food cheat sheet! Proper recycling is not that complicated! ♻️
Question your purchases ❓
The best product consumed is the one that will last as long as possible, and will be repairable if necessary. That's why it's best to ask yourself a few questions before you buy. Recy-Québec recommends these questions before going to checkout:
❓: Do I really need it?
❓: Could I buy it on the used market?
❓: Is the product repairable?
❓: Are the packaging and the product recyclable?
It's eco-friendly, but also economical! Think about it!

Before that, it was carbonated water bottles, which we replaced almost 2 years ago with a Soda Stream that we love!! One step at a time, we analyze our trash can and our bin to reduce the content with realistic actions.
