EPA Helping You
By Genevieve Thomson
Do you know how the EPA, otherwise known as the Environmental
Protection Agency, works for you? It affects you on
a daily basis, but you are probably not aware of the
small differences one agency can make.
Your vehicle gives off fewer emissions than twenty
years ago. There are more recycling programs available
and industries are now accountable for their waste byproducts.
Even aerosol cans and household pesticides are governed
by this agency.
The Environmental Protection Agency is not alone in
its fight to keep the world a clean place. But it does
play an instrumental role in convincing other countries
to review their activities and join in the fight to
lower pollution levels and encourage more people to
participate in recycling programs in their area.
Even the Kyoto Protocol, of which the United States
is a part, determines the amount of green house gas
emissions that are allowed, thus having an effect on
each and every citizen of the world.
The Recycling Program In Local Cities And Towns
Perhaps the greatest contact the American citizen has
with the Environmental Protection Agency is the recycling
program found in local cities and towns. There are laws
governing the illegal dumping of hazardous waste into
the environment.
They push for corporations and businesses to join a
recycling program to benefit the environment and serve
as an example, with regard to the serious nature of
pollution and overflowing landfills.
EPA Helps To Protect The Environment
The Environmental Protection Agency covers endangered
species, as well as air, water, land and hazardous waste
pollution. They help to protect the environment in more
ways than you could possibly think one agency is capable
of doing but they manage to get it done. Without this
agency regulating industries and helping people get
into a recycling program, this country would be in an
appalling condition.

for more information on how the Environmental Protection
Agency works on a daily basis. You can give back to
your community and help show others that recycling is
not that hard.
How You Can Help Keep Garbage Out Of Landfills
You can keep landfills free of recyclables and start
a grass roots campaign to get more cities on track for
recycling. Just reviewing your options and doing your
part is one small step in keeping more useable garbage
out of your local landfill.
Consider it your civic duty to help start a recycling
program in your area and teaching others that big changes
start with the efforts of all concerned. Do your part
and you will begin to see others taking those small
steps as well.

Little Known Recycling Facts.....
Can everything be recycled?
Unfortunately not everything can
be recycled but a huge majority can be. Too bad many
people are not electing to recycle anything at all.
Batteries can be given new life,
plastics can be made into other products and even those
old newspapers and magazines can be made into new reading
materials. You cannot recycle old diapers but there
are ways that even that can be cut down by using reusable
cloth diapers.
