Rethink Waste
Each year, Americans generate millions of tons of waste in our homes and communities. There are many ways you can produce less waste and use fewer resources. You can:
- Reduce – Buy fewer products. When you purchase items select those with less packaging and buy green or reusable products.
- Reuse – Choose products with a longer life or those you can reuse or repurpose.
- Recycle – Instead of throwing things in the landfill, recycle bottles, cans, paper, electronics, food scraps and yard waste.
"If it can't be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production." ~ Ecology Center, Berkeley
