Where does recycling fit into all this?

• In order to live sustainably, Ashley believes
  that every person needs to be mindful of how they
  live their life and how they use the resources
  around them. Recycling is an important component
  of this. By recycling, you can avoid overusing
  raw materials and save money on getting rid of
  the trash. Plus, recycling helps keep toxins out
  of our environment. Ashley also says that while
  it may seem like you're not making much of a
  difference at first, over time it all adds up
  into something big!

What other ways can we help?

• Living a more sustainable lifestyle can be as
  simple as bringing your own bags, or as
  complicated as installing solar panels. The truth
  is that there are countless ways you can do your
  part for the environment. From saving water to
  recycling, and using reusable shopping bags
  instead of paper ones, small changes add up.
  Even if we all take just one step in the right
  direction it will make a difference. One way we
  can help protect our natural resources is by
  doing what we're able to reduce, reuse, recycle
  and rethink how we live.
