Recycle trash from your household; take paper, plastics, glass, aluminum cans, and other recyclables to recycling centers. Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees. Recycling creates six times as many jobs as land filling.

Recycling takes very little effort. Some communities do not ever require that you separate out your recyclables. You can dump them all into a single bin. This means that all you need to do is keep a separate trash can or container to toss recyclable materials into, rather than the regular garbage can. How difficult is that?
