Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Paper Use and Recycling
Every day we use paper - to communicate, to create, to clean. Paper use has a direct connection with global warming because paper comes from trees, and most paper in the United States today comes directly from wood, rather than recycled sources. Every tree that goes into paper is one less tree capturing carbon and providing habitat for wildlife.
Reduce Unwanted Catalogs Mailed to You
National Wildlife Federation, The Ecology Center and the Natural Resources Defense Council have launched a free online service that will help consumers take control of mailbox clutter, simplify their lives and protect the environment from unnecessary waste.
Recycling Electronics
Modern living is filled with electronic gadgets. Cell phones are practically a standard accessory, computers aid in jobs and PDAs are a "must-have." While the high-tech industry has a relatively "green" reputation compared to some other industries, there are many environmental impacts of these devices. Metals are mined, minute parts are treated by chemicals. These devices have limited life spans and are difficult to recycle because they are made from many different materials.
