Waste Reduction
Great 20 min Video and Website about the Impacts of Overconsumption!
Consuming less in general is the first step toward reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and pollution in our air and water. When consumption is necessary, such as in the case of food, it is important to purchase sustainable products:
- Local, Organic and Vegetarian foods
- Used and Vintage Clothing
- Compostable Packaging
- Energy from Clean, Renewable Sources
- Recycled and Recyclable Materials
Of course, Reuse and Recycling are highly preferrable to throwing these items away after their initial use!
