Reduce: What Can We Do?
Each person adds to the waste management problem.
If each household reduces its waste, the problem
will be reduced. You can start by analyzing what you
throw away and what goods are needed at home.
You may be able to make some of these items at
home, such as shopping bags and homemade cleaning
supplies. A selection of home cleaning products and their
uses are laid out in NMSU’s Cooperative Extension Service
Guide G-304, Selection and Use of Home Cleaning
