One of the best ways to “go green” is to focus on reusing things instead
of just tossing them out. For instance, jars can be used for food and scraps of paper can
be used for notes. Give away clothing when you are finished with it rather than throwing
it away. Consider using the Bilkent Library for books, magazines and international
periodicals instead of buying them. Finally, instead of using plastic bags from the
grocery store, take a backpack or strong cloth bags with you to carry things home. One
town in England has already banned the use of plastic bags in its shops!
