Recycling Waste Prevention
Recycling Waste Prevention
Replace your current home appliances (refrigerator, washing machine, dish washer)
with high-efficiency models. Televisions, stereo equipment, computers, battery
chargers and a host of other gadgets and appliances consume more energy when
seemingly switched off, so unplug them instead. Recycling helps reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy consumption. Using recycled
materials to make new products reduces the need for virgin materials. Waste
prevention and smart shopping are even more effective at reducing
greenhouse gas emissions that result from energy consumption. Trees Help
Fight Climate Change. As trees grow, they help stop climate change by
removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil,
and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. Trees provide many benefits to
us, every day.
