Green Tip 1: Probably the easiest way to do your part in helping the environment is recycle. The average person generates 4.5 pounds of trash every day – about 1.5 tons of solid waste per year. The EPA estimates that while 75 percent of solid waste is recyclable, only about 30 percent is actually recycled. Most communities have adopted city wide recycling programs but it can still be complicated. What can be picked up curbside? What can or can not be recycled? I found a great resource that can help you find the answers to all of your questions. Visit earth911 and find recycling guides, links to recycling programs both in your community and nationwide and ideas on how to turn that trash into treasure.
