Reducing Waste

How can your community reduce waste? This is a great resource for teachers and parents to help the next generation of Americans reduce, reuse, and recycle by identifying the difference between sustainable and non-sustainable practices.

If your habits resemble those of average Americans, you generate about 4 pounds of solid trash per day. This adds up to big trouble for the environment. Americans are generating waste products faster than nature can break them down and using up resources faster than they can be replaced.
