Did you know Texas is projected to run out of landfill space in just 56 years? That’s if we keep up our current rate of disposal—about 6.5 pounds of trash per person every day. Reducing waste is just as important as ever. Fortunately, it’s a challenge we can all do something about.
Because schools accumulate tons of waste—paper, computers, books, plastics, and more—they can also be part of the effort to deal with it effectively. To help, consider starting or improving a recycling program in your school or district.
