Sustainable Severn Sound (SSS) is a special project of the Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA). The objective of the SSS
project is to advance the adoption of practices and policies within municipal operations to support climate change action,
greenhouse gas mitigation and sustainable communities.
Waste accounts for approx. 10% of all local #greenhousegas (GHG) emissions, & most of those #GHG's can be avoided by using your #greenbin more, & making sure all items are disposed of in the proper streams. You can also #compost at home, & always consider the 4-R's - #reduce, #reuse, #recycle & #REFUSE to limit how much #trash you are responsible for. Make sure you really need that 'item', & choose products with no packaging, & those made closer to home. Happy #EarthWeek!
