What Is the Impact of Green Practices?

Book Overview

Consumers have long been encouraged to reduce, reuse, and recycle, but environmental awareness has come a long way since the first Earth Day in 1970. Blue trash bins are everywhere the eye can see, and consumers know they have places to put certain materials to make a helpful impact on waste management. People are reminded in stores, restaurants, and other places that they can reuse items, or reduce waste by using items sparingly. This book examines what effect, if any, practicing the three R's has had on the planet, giving readers both sides of the topic.
