Cut Down on Garbage. Prevention is the best way to fight pollution!
     If you don't create garbage then no one has to clean it up. Buy
     products that don't have a lot of packaging. Reuse containers
     instead of throwing them out. Try to make Earth Day a garbage-
     free day.
               

Using recycled aluminum beverage cans to produce new cans allows
     the aluminum can industry to make up to 20 times more cans for the
     same amount of energy. In 1993, the amount of energy saved was
     equivalent to 19.3 million barrels of oil, or 11.5 billion kilowatts hours
     of electricity.
 
                                

Fourth-grade students in Carol Stream, Illinois, got off on the right
     foot when they decided to help the environment. The Heritage
     Lakes School kids collected 471 pairs of stinky old rubber-soled
     shoes and sneakers. They sent the shoes to the Nike company, and
     the soles were recycled into bouncy playground surfaces. Now,
     somewhere, kids are jumping on the students' old shoes. The
     fourth-graders get a kick out of that!
