From snack packages to worn-out tires and nuclear waste, people keep generating trash! Let’s all do our share to help stop waste with the three R’s.

Did you know that people in the United States throw away an average of 3.5 lbs (1.59 kg) of trash every day? Where does it all go? What happens to nuclear waste from energy plants? How about all the tires that are removed from the world’s cars each year?
