Personal Conservation: Waste Reduction

Click to View Now!

Waste Reduction isn’t just about recycling our household products. In fact, waste reduction is about refusing single use plastics, rethinking our choices and reducing our consumption BEFORE our waste gets to the recycling point. The last choice is recycling. This section of our website contains tips and techniques to help you evaluate your consumption habits and contemplate how you might reduce waste in your household. We aim to update this section as we find new ideas to share, so click here frequently.

Conservation Advocacy

Legislation comes from ideas.

Advocacy is the promotion of ideas into laws.

When you advocate for the environment, you are trying to persuade members of the Virginia legislature or the US House of Representatives or Senate to pass legislation favorable to our collective conservation goals. Sometimes, you will advocate to defeat or repeal legislation unfavorable to our cause.

It's that simple.
