So you know the "Three Rs," right? Recycle is the famous one, but #1 in this trio (REDUCE) deserves more creative attention and - use!
In a
recent blog post, recycling professional Kelley Dennings
considered why the recycling community may be ditching out on waste
reduction. Dennings serves as Advisor to NewDream.org, one of Earthworms'
favorite educational orgs.
When Dennigs added a degree in Public Health to her credentials and influence potential, she framed the sort of off-putting Reduce idea of in the human-centered focus of Prevention. Could this be a way to get our species to explore more New Dream's territory? Their motto: More Fun - Less Stuff!

Registry, an E-Z online way to request and give day-of-event
help, shared experiences, homemade and secondhand gifts - and more.
Plus references to Zero Waste, Scrap Exchange, Product Stewardship
Institute and other Reduce-Reuse activity in the Waste Space.
