Pollution prevention is a major global concern because of its harmful effects on people's health and the environment. Because we are all inhabitants on Earth, everyone is a stakeholder, and every person has something to contribute to advance effective pollution prevention awareness.

Steps To Control Pollution
Park your car on hot summer days when ozone levels rise to unhealthy levels. Consider leaving your car home once a week and ride the bus or your bike instead.

A well insulated house & energy efficient windows conserve energy and saves money.

Recycle burned out fluorescent lamps at the Lane County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center. Fluorescent lamps may contain mercury.

Choose earth friendly lawn care methods & products. When using chemicals, follow package instructions for use and disposal. (Excess chemicals can destroy beneficial insects). If in doubt, ask an expert.

Consider using a push mower for your lawn. No air pollution, minimal maintenance & good exercise.

Replace the water your soil has lost through evapotranspiration (ET). Call EWEB or SUB to determine the weekly ET rates for your area. (Thorough soaking promotes healthy root systems).

Leaving small grass clippings on the lawn, "grasscycling", provides nutrients to the soil, creates healthy lawns and diverts yard debris from the landfill.

Commercially available eco-lawn mixes can reduce watering and yard maintenance.

Plant trees! They provide shade, clean air, mask noise and need much less water than lawns.

Charcoal-starting chimneys prevent the need for lighter fluid w/traditional BBQs.

Consider plastic lumber for a deck or bench. Recycled content plastic lumber is durable and requires no painting.

Create a backyard compost pile or invest in a composter. Composting is nature's way of recycling. It converts plant waste into a rich soil additive

Avoid aerosol products. They can pose safety hazards and require special processing at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center.

Buy products in bulk. Packaging increases product cost and adds more to our landfills.

Leaky hot water taps can increase your water bill by 10%.

When you need a new refrigerator, look for an energy efficient model.

Use a worm compost bin for kitchen scraps. FEED YOUR LANDSCAPE, NOT YOUR LANDFILL!

Non-toxic cleaners can work effectively.

Keep a food discard collection container (for composting) handy at the sink.

Use cloth napkins instead of disposable napkins
