      So easy to stop, drier balls are great! especially only having cotton clothing, static doesn't build like synthetics do. Love that there is no additional smell that came from sheets.

Recycling helps reduce the amount of trash that goes into landfills and protects the environment. I also learned that food scraps can be composted instead of thrown away. This information helped me understand how small actions at home can make a big difference for our community and the planet.
