Making an Impact at the Curb
Preventing waste is a powerful strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Waste is not just created when consumers throw items away. Throughout the life cycle of a product-resource extraction, manufacturing, and disposal-waste is generated. Reducing, reusing, and recycling in your home helps conserve energy and reduces pollution and greenhouse gases generated throughout the product's life cycle.Produce less waste by practicing the 3 Rs:
- Reduce the amount and toxicity of trash you discard.
- Reuse containers and products; repair what is broken or give it to someone who can repair it.
- Recycle much as possible, which includes buying products with recycled content.
