Reduce--Reuse--Recycle--Respect!!!

Millions of tons of waste are generated by humans each year. 
The waste is disposed of by burying it within layers of the Earth. 

 The following are images of landfills:

 

We Can Make A Difference If We Work Together!!!

Reduce the amount of trash you dispose of and Reuse containers items are purchased in, for example, when possible.  Recycling makes a difference as well by keeping recyclable materials out of landfills.  Companies like TerraCycle, which is based in New Jersey, are creating new and inventive ways of reusing materials that would otherwise be trash and are making really cool merchandise out of this so called---"trash".

Respect our Earth and do your part. 

Small Changes Can Make A Big Difference.
