10 Suggestions To Make Your Friends Less Wasteful

Hey, we all need a little help. And for one more way? Go tube-free with Scott Naturals® and take the pledge against wasteful cardboard tubes in toilet paper rolls!

1. Ask where their recycling is.

Because if they don't have one, then it's time they got one!

2. Give gifts wrapped in reused paper.

3. Turn up their AC juuuuuuust a little.

"It's so cold in here! Am I the only cold one? Well, let's just turn it off."

4. Use matches over lighters.

The problem with lighters is that every year "over 1.5 billion end up in landfills." That does not make for a happy Earth. :-(

5. Change their lightbulbs.

Or offer to change them. Or do it without them knowing. Because compact fluorescents are the way go.

6. Encourage them to get back on that bike.

Good for the body + good for the environment.

7. Turning off their computers? YUP. Definitely necessary.

8. Tell them when their faucet is leaking.

"Hey! Just a little thing I noticed..."

9. Give them a tree to plant.

Perfect gift for the environment, especially if someone has moved into a new place.

10. Or give the gift of "no more plastic water bottles ever."
