I was looking at my movie collection and realized most of my movies I’ve watched only once. After I finish reading a book, it sits on the shelf and collects dust. Now I have 2 items cluttering my house and they definitely are not recycle friendly.

I stumbled across this article on saving money from not buying media and it’s true. We spend so much money on movies and books, but once we are done they just sit there. Papers make up most of the landfills and DVDs are hard to recycle.

Libraries have great resources and a better collection than any book or movie store. If each of us took the time to cut down on buying  these products – we’d save hundreds of dollars and help eliminate the waste.
