Millions of tons of trash each year are dumped into landfills. For one, landfills are unsightly and smelly. Two they pollute, badly. To help reduce the trash put in landfills think of two things recycling and composting.
Recycling, recycling is an easy way to help the environment. First check with your city if the recycling program is available. If not when there are town meetings its a good idea to bring it up. With recycling most towns offer a plant the allows plastic, paper, cardboard and metals.
Composting is a little trickier but still manageable. Once again make sure your city has a composting program. If so, you should have a green bin where you can place any food and tissues in.
Recycling and compost may seem like its not that much. If every one recycled and composted, our landfills would be less then half there size they are today. So whats stopping you?
