WASTE & RECYCLING

Everything we throw away has a climate cost. Producing, transporting, and disposing of waste creates greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling, composting, and reducing what we buy all help cut that impact. By keeping materials in use for longer and sending less to landfills, we shrink our footprint and give the Earth a break.
