| landfills are filling up, on average every person creates 6 lbs. of trash a week | Don't throw things out that can be reused, RECYCLE! Instead of throwing vegetable and fruit peels and cores in the garbage, set up a compost in your backyard! Choose products sold in recyclable products, and don't use plastic, paper or Styrofoam when you don't need to. | |
| 80% of water pollution comes from land based activities | Our behavior here greatly affects those elsewhere. Think about what you're doing before you do it. | |
| Every year America throws out 30 billion foam cups, 1.6 million writing pens, 2 billion plastic razors and blades, 220 million tires and 1.8 billion disposable diapers. | Invest in long term products people! At Dunkin Donuts buy a thermos coffee cup, buy an electric razor, buy products that you know last longer! If you give up the 5 cents now for refillable pens, it will be invested in a longer future for you and your children. | |
