Sonke singenza okuncane (noma okuningi) okwengeziwe ukuze sinakekele imvelo. Kodwa akudingeki ukuthi uphume ngokuphelele kugridi ukuze wenze umehluko: I-NYC yenzeka inohlelo oluhlanganisa ngendlela emangalisayo lokugaywa kabusha. Lokho kusho, kungase kudide kancane ngezinye izikhathi. Ngakho-ke sihlahlela amaphutha avame kakhulu nemibuzo yokuvuselela kabusha—ngokulandelana kwama-alfabhethi, kunjalo.
OKUhlobene: Ungazisusa Kanjani Izinto Ongazifuni Ngaphandle Kokuphuma Endlini
Amashumi amabili namashumi amabili Izinto zikagesi
Izinto ngokuvamile eziyinsimbi (njengama-toaster) noma ngokuvamile ipulasitiki (njengezomisa izinwele) zingangena emgqonyeni wakho ovamile oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nezinye ingilazi, ipulasitiki nensimbi. (Eminye imikhiqizo, njenge I-Hamilton Beach , nikeza izinhlelo zokubuyisela emuva.) Ezintweni ezinjengeziqandisi nama-air conditioner—eziqukethe i-Freon— yenza i-aphoyintimenti noMnyango Wezokuthuthwa Kwendle ukuze zisuswe.
Amabhethri
Akukho emthethweni ukuphonsa amabhethri ashajwayo anoma yiluphi uhlobo. Kunalokho, ungaziyisa kunoma isiphi isitolo esizithengisayo (njenge-Duane Reade ne-Home Depot) noma umcimbi wokulahlwa kwe-NYC. Amabhethri avamile ane-alkaline (isb., i-AAs oyisebenzisa kusilawuli kude) angangena kudoti ojwayelekile, kodwa kungcono ukuwangenisa futhi.
Ikhadibhodi
Iningi labantu liyazi ukuthi amabhokisi kathayela ayakwazi ukugaywa kabusha, kodwa ngokunjalo nezikhwama ezinsundu, omagazini, amaphepha angenalutho endlu yangasese namaroli ethawula, amaphepha okugoqa, amabhokisi ezicathulo namabhokisi amaqanda. Amabhokisi e-pizza nawo ayamukeleka-kodwa lahla i-liner embozwe ngamafutha (noma okungcono nakakhulu, i-compost it).
Amashumi amabili namashumi amabili Phuza izinkomishi
Yebo, leyo nkomishi yekhofi (noma i-matcha) engenalutho ingasetshenziswa kabusha, inqobo nje uma kuyipulasitiki (kuhlanganise notshani) noma iphepha; qiniseka nje ukuthi usebenzisa umgqomo ofanele. I-Styrofoam kufanele ingene kudoti, nakuba-ngiyabonga, awuboni okuningi kulezi zinsuku.
Ezogesi
I-PSA: Akukho emthethweni ukulahla izinto zikagesi—njengama-TV, amakhompyutha, ama-smartphone, njll—kudoti. (Empeleni ungahlawuliswa u-0.) Kunalokho, nikela nganoma yini esasebenza futhi ulethe okusele endaweni yokulahla noma umcimbi wokulahlwa kwe-SAFE (Izinyibilikisi, Izimoto, Izinto ezivuthayo kanye ne-Electronics). Uma ibhilidi lakho linamayunithi ayishumi noma ngaphezulu, uyafaneleka ukuthola isevisi yokuqoqa izinto zikagesi.
I-Foil
Lokho kugoqa kwe-aluminium okufike ne-oda lakho Elingenamthungo kungasulwa bese kuphonswa phakathi ngensimbi nengilazi.
Amashumi amabili namashumi amabili Ingilazi
Amabhodlela nezimbiza ezisaphelele, ezinezivalo, zingangena emigqonyeni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Ezinye izinto zengilazi—njengezibuko noma izinto zengilazi—ngeshwa azikwazi ukugaywa kabusha, ngakho nikela nganoma yini esesimweni esihle. Ingilazi ephukile kufanele ifakwe kabili (ukuze ivikeleke) futhi iphonswe kudoti.
Imikhiqizo Eyingozi
Eminye imikhiqizo yokuhlanza yasendlini, efana nezihlanza ipayipi nezindlu zangasese (noma yini ebizwa ngokuthi Danger-Corrosive), kufanele neze ulahlwe kudoti ojwayelekile. Okufanayo kuya kunoma yini evuthayo, njengoketshezi olulula. Ziyise kumcimbi wokulahlwa OKUPHEPHILE , futhi ucabangele ukufuna ezinye izindlela zokuhlanza eziluhlaza—isoda yokubhaka noviniga kwenza izimanga ekukhipheni amanzi.

iPhone
Udinga ukuthuthukisa? Uma imodeli yakho endala isasebenza, ungase ukwazi ukwenza imali ngokuyithengisa. Ungakwazi futhi ukunikela ngesizathu esihle, ukulahle ngokufanele nezinye izinto zikagesi noma ukubuyisele emuva i-apula . (Amafoni e-Android afana ne-Samsung nawo akwenza kube lula kakhulu.)
I-Junk Mail
Eshu, okubi kakhulu. Cishe yonke into (okuhlanganisa namakhathalogi) ingaphonswa emgqonyeni wephepha oxubile (oluhlaza). Kodwa ukubheja kwakho okuhle ukuzikhipha ohlwini lokubhaliselwe okungafunwa ngokuphelele. (Empeleni kulula kakhulu kunalokho ucabanga.)
Amashumi amabili namashumi amabili Ama-K-Cups
Ungawachithi kudoti ama-pods akho ekhofi: Wahlanze futhi uwajikijele emgqonyeni oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka namanye amapulasitiki aqinile. Kungenjalo, abakhiqizi abaningi (abanjengoKeurig kanye neNespresso) banikela ngezinhlelo zokubuyisela emuva zamahhovisi.
Amalambu Okukhanya
Uma kuyi-compact fluorescent bulb (CFL), iqukethe inani elincane le-mercury futhi kufanele iyiswe emcimbini wokulahlwa kwe-SAFE. Ama-incandescent noma ama-LED ama-bulb angangena kudoti, kodwa qiniseka ukuthi uwafaka kabili ukuze aphephe. (Futhi ngerekhodi: Ama-LED anobungani bemvelo azokongela ithani kubhili yakho ye-Con Ed.)
Insimbi
Ngokuhambisana namakani e-chili e-Diet Coke kanye ne-Trader Joe, ungaphinda usebenzise izinto ezifana namathini e-aerosol angenalutho, iziphanyeko zocingo namabhodwe namapani. Imimese, noma ungakholwa, ingaphinda igaywe kabusha—kodwa qiniseka ukuthi uyisonga ngekhadibhodi, uyinamathisele ngokuphepha bese uyilebula ethi Qaphela - ibukhali.
Amashumi amabili namashumi amabili I-Nail Polish
Uyakholwa noma ungakholwa, lelo bhodlela lasendulo le-Essie liwubuthi (okufanayo kuya kusikhiphi sepholishi). Uma nakanjani ngeke uzisebenzise, ziyise emcimbini wokulahlwa kwe-SAFE.
Amafutha
Noma yini oyenzayo, ungayithululi emseleni. Igrisi yasekhishini yanoma yiluphi uhlobo kufanele ithelwe esitsheni futhi ibhalwe Amafutha Okupheka - Not for Recycling ngaphambi kokuthi aphonswe kudoti.
Amathawula Ephepha
Amathawula wephepha awakwazi ukuphonswa ngephepha nekhadibhodi kabusha (iphutha elivamile), kodwa angangena kumquba. Kodwa kungcono ukukhawulela ukusebenzisa kwakho uma ukwazi: Sebenzisa amathawula endwangu lapho womisa izandla noma izitsha zakho, nezipontshi lapho uhlanza ukungcola (qiniseka nje ukuthi uwacwilisa njalo kuhhavini ye-microwave ukuze ubulale amagciwane).
Amashumi amabili namashumi amabili Amakota
Njengelitha lobisi. (Siyazi, ukunwebeka.) Kodwa amakhathoni ekhadibhodi—njengamabhokisi obisi namabhokisi ojusi, ahlanjululwe—kufanele empeleni angene nensimbi, ingilazi kanye nepulasitiki, hhayi iphepha. (Zinomugqa okhethekile ngakho zidinga ukuhlungwa okuhlukile.)
Rx
Cha, awukwazi ukuphinda usebenzise lawo ma-antibiotics kusukela ngoNovemba odlule, kodwa kufanele wazi ukuthi uwalahla kanjani ngendlela efanele. Ukufutha imithi ethile ukulimaza ukuhlinzekwa kwamanzi , ngakho esikhundleni salokho landela a inqubo ethize (kubandakanya izindawo zekhofi noma udoti wekati). Izinto ezicijile njengezinaliti kufanele zifakwe esitsheni esivalekile, esingabhoboki esibhalwe ukuthi 'Home Sharps - hhayi okokugaywa kabusha' ngaphambi kokungena kudoti. Ungakwazi futhi ukuletha kokubili emcimbini wokulahlwa kwe-SAFE.
Izikhwama Zokuthenga
Okwamanje, awudingi ukuthi sikutshele ukuthi amathoyizi ekhanvasi asebenziseka kabusha angumngane wakho (futhi, uyazi, oMhlaba). Kodwa uma kwenzeka ube nedrowa eligcwele ukulethwa kanye nezikhwama ze-Duane Reade (ingasaphathwa eyepulasitiki yokuhlanza okomile, i-shrink-wrap nama-Ziplocs), ungaziyisa kumaketango amakhulu amaningi akhipha izikhwama (njenge-Target, i-Rite Aid kanye izitolo eziningi zokudla).
Amashumi amabili namashumi amabili Izindwangu
Indwangu endala isenokusetshenziswa okuningi ngemva kokuba usuqedile ngayo. Izinto eziningi zinganikelwa, amalineni namathawula angasetshenziswa njengendawo yokulala ezindaweni zokukhosela izilwane (aww) ngisho nezinsalela namanikiniki zingagaywa kabusha. Noma yisiphi isakhiwo esinamayunithi ayishumi noma ngaphezulu (noma yiliphi ihhovisi) singacela isevisi yokuqoqa mahhala. Nezinhlobo ezithile—kuhlanganise Nezinye Izindaba , H&M , Madewell -nikeza ukushiya esitolo okuza nesaphulelo esimnandi njengomklomelo.
Isambulela
Ngokudabukisayo, lezi azikwazi ukuphinda zisetshenziswe. Kodwa ukutshala imali ku-a inguqulo ye-windproof lokho okubambayo kusho ukumosha okuncane (kanye nokucasuka okuncane kuwe). Aka yeka ukuthenga izambulela zama- njalo uma lina.
Amashumi amabili namashumi amabili Imifino
Aka ukumosha ukudla. Ukwenza umquba kulula kakhulu: Noma yiziphi izinsalela zokudla (kanye nezimbali nezitshalo zasendlini) ziwumdlalo olungile. Lokho kubandakanya izinto ezinjengokudla okusele, izindawo zekhofi, amagobolondo amaqanda namakhasi kabhanana. Gcina yonke into ku-a isikhwama compostable efrijini (akukho phunga!), bese uyiletha endaweni yokulahla njengeGreenmarket yangakini ukuze iqoqwe. Ezinye izindawo ezingomakhelwane usuvele unokulandwa oseceleni komgwaqo, nokunye okuzoqala ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka.
Izinkuni
Ungase ucabange ukuthi lokhu kuwela esigabeni somquba (senzile), kodwa ngeshwa kuyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu. Amagatsha amancane ayavuthwa, kepha uma uhlala eBrooklyn noma eQueens, amagatsha amakhulu nezinkuni zidinga ukudlula UMnyango Wezamapaki we-NYC (ngenxa yazo zonke izinto, ukuhlasela kwebhungane). Izinkuni ezilashiwe (okusho ifenisha) kufanele zinikelwe uma zisesimweni esihle, ngaphandle kwalokho zingahle zibekwe ukuze ziqoqwe udoti.
XYZ...
Awuyiboni impendulo kulolu hlu? Sebenzisa ithuluzi lokusesha eliwusizo loMnyango Wezokuthuthwa Kwendle we-NYC ukuze ubheke noma yini. Sesizizwa siluhlaza.
