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 />

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 />
