20. Buy and sell second-hand electronics
According to the United Nations, 40 million tons of electronic waste is dumped every year. There are many people out there who want to buy the latest iPhone every year, but the obsession with this technology is awful to the environment. The older the handset is, the more often it gets thrown away. Buy used electronics on eBay or view options from Amazon Renewed.
Most communities will have an electronic recycling program, but many people are not educated about their options. One way you can prevent items from getting into the landfill is to buy old electronics. This gives an old piece a second life, and it saves you money. Also, consider selling your old products instead of throwing them in the trash.
