Approximately 20 to 25 percent of the trash entering disposal facilities is food waste. When food waste is buried in landfills, it decomposes and generates methane gas, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. The large quantity of food being wasted and disposed in this manner not only needlessly fills up landfills but has also made these sites the third largest source of methane in the United States. Help reduce food waste through smart shopping, proper storage of food, making the most of your leftovers and other easy, but effective strategies.

Before gardening, camping, hiking, or just playing outdoors, make preventing tick bites part of your plans.
Lyme disease is spread by the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, an estimated 476,000 infections are diagnosed and treated each year. If you camp, hike, work, or play in wooded or grassy places, you could be bitten by an infected tick.
