- Recycle or reuse your plastic shopping bags. Kroger, Food Lion and
Walmart have plastic bag collection bins by their front doors!
- Avoid aerosol! Use pump sprays instead of aerosol when possible.
- Don't throw away good items that are still usable. Donate unwanted
clothing or household goods to the Goodwill or Madeline's House for reuse.
Both are in Farmville. The Southside SPCA also runs a thrift store in
Keysville that helps homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens.

- Commit to using reusable plates, cups, mugs, and silverware
instead of disposable items. A styrofoam coffee cup will last for
decades, while your coffee lasts just a few minutes.
