WHY?
The more materials that we recycle, the less raw materials will need tobe removed from the earth, processed with (often toxic) chemicals, and formed in energy-intensive industries for our use.
Additionally, each item that we recycle saves OUUC money.
We must pay for garbage disposal; recycling is free.
Reduce
the amount you discard
Reuse
as much as you can
Recycle waste materials
Properly dispose of materials that you cannot reuse or recycle
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part
