Reducing the amount of waste we produce is by far the most effective way to battle the flow of garbage into the landfill. ... What we cannot reduce we should try to reuse. ... Materials and packaging that cannot be reused should be recycled at home, work and school. ... Finally, recover energy from wastes that cannot be used for something else.
