Reducing waste, reusing materials <strong>and</strong> products, <strong>and</strong> recycling are<br />
some <strong>of</strong> the most powerful ways individuals, households <strong>and</strong> busi-<br />
nesses can protect the environment.<br />
Here's why you should get involved:<br />
Saving natural resources: Keusing discarded products <strong>and</strong> using recycled materials to make<br />
- new products reduces the use <strong>of</strong> virgin materials, which olkn involves harvesting trees <strong>and</strong><br />
mining he earth. Eve11 beuer, "source reducing" waste or avoiding the generation <strong>of</strong> discards<br />
in the first place saves the most resources <strong>of</strong> all.<br />
