We can make a difference . . .


Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers.
When you recycle, you help save natural resources.
Generate as little trash as possible, because trash in
landfill sites emit large quantities of methane, and if
burned, carbon dioxide is released.

Consume
less,
more, live simply.
