4 Recycle

Manufacturing plants emit a large number of greenhouse gasses per year. It is unavoidable in the production of
goods that we use on a regular basis. However, a cleaner alternative would be to invest in recycling. Recycling
is a cost-effective and eco-friendly process that eliminates waste and doesn’t emit greenhouse gasses into the
environment. Be sure to collect your discarded paper, glass, plastic, and electronics to your local recycling center.
The professionals will take these items to a processing plant where they will be remade into other recyclable
materials again.
5 Educate yourself and others
The importance of educating others about climate change cannot be overstated in our modern society. There are
many platforms for us to utilize that can allow us to spread our message easily. Whether you use word of mouth
or social media, there are always ways to educate others on what climate change is doing to our planet. You can
help protect the planet by educating others about the dangers of climate change and how to act against it.
6 Encourage the use of renewable energies
Focusing your efforts to spread awareness about renewable energy is the best way to create a positive impact
in your community. By informing others about how renewable energy is better than utilizing fossil fuels, you will
sway others into investing in the idea.

1 Pollution prevention in industrial processes: The possibilities of P2 strategies are still being implemented
at the corporate level, but benefits are already being realized by many companies. If companies invest in
P2 methods early in their development, they realize greater gains not too far down the road. Additionally,
if companies do not produce waste, they do not have to worry about properly disposing of it. Thus, P2 is a
proactive measure taken to reduce costs in the long run that would have been dedicated to disposal and
elimination of waste.
There are two main ways to reduce waste through P2: Increased efficiency and technology improvements.
Waste reduction at the source implies the same amount of input raw materials with less waste and more output of
the product. Technology improvements imply changes to the production process that reduce the amount of output
waste, such as an improved recycling process.
One strategy is “in-process recycling. “Though it is not the most efficient form of “reduction at the source,” recycling
is very profitable due to its ease of process. By engaging in recycling practices, industries not only cut down on the
amount of material discarded as environmentally-hazardous waste, but they also increase profitability by reducing
the amount of raw material purchased.
The most widespread strategy is “reduction at the source,” which is the idea that byproducts of production can
be reduced through efficient and careful use of natural resources. This method reduces the amount of dangerous
pollutants present in waste before the waste is released. In turn, this creates a safer environment free of hazardous
waste. This idea ties strongly into the benefits to corporations of investing in newer, more efficient technology.
