Mail
Your family members probably receive a lot of mail they do not want. Unwanted mail is known as junk mail. It can be recycled just like other paper. But, if you are tired of the daily flow of unwanted mail, follow IDEM’s simple steps to greatly reduce the pile.
- Recycle Letters and Packages
Packaging
When you order a product online, it must be delivered to you. Ships, planes, trucks, trains, and other vehicles deliver goods to us from around the world. The shipment of goods impacts the environment because many types of transportation require the use of fossil fuels that release pollutants into our environment. Designing vehicles for fuel efficiency helps conserve resources and reduce pollution, but more progress is needed to reduce the impact on our environment. When you buy locally made products, less transportation is required so less pollution is produced.
