Get rewarded for recycling with Basic Environmental Systems & Technologies, Inc.
Friday, January 26, 2024
The past decade has shown that Climate Change is real. Helping the environment felt like such a lofty topic like I’m such a miniscule person in the world – how does it matter? It does because every step, minor or major, is a step to taking care of Mother Earth.
When I started this journey, one thing I learned is that it does not have to be “all or nothing”. I was apprehensive to begin because I felt like a fraud. How can I say I help the environment when I can’t go completely green? Well that’s the thing – you don’t have to. Take small steps to help you create better habits and bigger changes in your lifestyle. Always remember that 20% is better than 0%.
In the late 2000s my sister and I began with bringing our own bags when we shopped. Then we moved to getting a metal straw, reusable tumblers, making eco bricks, and reducing our plastic waste. In the last 5 years, my sister influenced me to go further by recycling.
At first, it was challenging because there were very few recycling centers yet. Plus, a center sometimes could only accept one or two types of material. We would bring our plastic waste to one center then need to find another center that would accept paper waste, textile waste, or glass bottles. We would give them to these centers without anything in return.
Here’s a list of the materials that Best accepts. Best is the company that initiated the program while the system they use for their rewards program is under bXtra PH. Wanted to clear it up cos it confused me for a time.
They have a wide catalog where you can exchange your rewards for grocery items, Lazada credit, and can even use it to pay your utility bill.
I hope this post inspires you to help Mama Earth out. If you have any questions, shoot me a DM or reach out to the Best team directly.
