Want to go green but don't know where to start? Contributing to Mother Earth's wellbeing need not be an ardous task. You can start small and with your own home. For one thing, you can try segregating and recycling trash. Segragation is the act of separating naturally decaying biodegradable material from non-biodegradable material that doesn't decay. You can bury the biodegradable trash in your garden, and this will serve as fertilizer for your plants. The non-biodegradable trash can be taken and sold to recycling centers or junk shops. Check out the tips in the gallery below to learn how you can start your eco-central, or the area where you practice segregating and recycling.
