What You Can Do

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

These three actions lay the foundation for lasting environmental change.

Reduce refers to lessening the amount of items or resources that are consumed, using only the amount that is needed, and looking for alternatives that will lessen the amount of materials we use.

Reuse means extending the 'life' or repurposing an item rather than discarding or throwing it away.

And Recycle means to process old, used items so that the material can be used to make new products. Examples of things that are often recycled are glass, plastic, newspapers, aluminum cans, used motor oil, and cardboard.

Let’s get started now by reducing the amount of trash we create!

Buy large refillable water jugs

Read documents on your computer rather than printing them out

Turn off lights, TV’s and computers when not in use
