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!
Turn off lights, TV’s and computers when not in use
Buy large refillable water jugs
Turn off the water while you brush your teeth
