"reduce, Reuse, Recycle"

Waste prevention and recycling programs are expanding to help local governments comply with a state law requiring cities and counties to cut their garbage in half. Many cities have composting programs and curbside collection programs, but they need you to take another look at your trash. Are any other items that can be recycled in there? If so, it's time to sort them out. Even yard can be recycled right in your own backyard through the simple practices of grasscycling, mulching and composting. In addition to saving landfill space, you'll save on buying fertilizer for your yard.

The fundamental virtue of prevention is a valuable lesson that applies to broader notions of public health and the environment, too. Preventing a problem is usually the cheapest way to go when it comes to protecting urban and rural environments. One of the best examples is taking personal responsibility for your own garbage.Prevention in the waste management arena is commonly referred to as "source reduction." It's really a rather simple concept. Eliminate waste before it is created. Less waste means less of a waste management problem, less of a need for recycling. While recycling is an effective way to manage waste materials once they have been generated, waste prevention actually reduces the amount of material used in the first place.

Preventing waste means we have to make lifestyle changes: purchasing more durable products and rejecting items with individually wrapped or single-serving containers; repairing and reusing items we might have once thrown away.
