If everyone in the world consumed at the US' current rate, it would take 5 planets to sustain us all - but of course we only have one. Part of living within the limits of our single planet means rethinking "stuff", and the way in which we extract, produce, purchase, consume and discard it. The 4 R's - Reduce waste, Reuse again and again, Recycle whenever possible, and Respect our environment - are simple illustrations of ways we all can preserve our natural resources and sustain human life on this planet we all share.

--> Try making one new "green" habit each month. Need a place to start? When they ask you paper or plastic at the grocery store, say "no thanks, I brought my own!!!
