If everyone reduced, reused and recycled their waste, then we wouldn't have any litter.

Reuse what you already have Plastic bags, boxes, gift bags, food containers

Recycle your paper, plastic and glass whenever it is an option

Don’t Litter

environment. There’s lots we can do to save

energy and protect our planet

than needed Don’t leave the water running while

brushing your teeth Turn off electronics when you’re not using

them
