Every year we create more and more waste.
Every year there is less and less space.
The health of our planet is something we effect many times each day. At the current rate, we as a nation will be generating more than 222 million tons of waste by the year 2000. There are many local community programs established to recycle glass, paper and metal. Millions of videocassettes, audiocassettes and other forms of magnetic media are thrown away each year. Most end up in a local landfill, and, since plastics do not biologically break down these materials will remain unaltered for hundreds of years.
