Many local governments are establishing recycling programs and promoting sustainable building for new construction. Businesses are also finding ways to make their companies greener and environmentally friendly. And many citizens have been living responsibly for a long time and they have a few regular habits that everyone can adopt.

Recycling

Recycling is a proven method of living responsibly. It saves energy, conserves resources, and reduces the amount of trash in landfills. It also conserves water and cuts air pollution. Many items can be recycled including different types of paper, aluminum cans, and electronic equipment. Those are just a few, and complete lists can be found online or through environmental agencies. Recycling bins can be found in many buildings and large offices, and many local communities collect recyclables with the regular trash.

If there is no organized recycling program in your town, neighbors can work to get one started. Often people do not recycle because it is inconvenient. Make it part of the community and more residents will recycle.
