Think Globally, Act Locally

I am starting this blog to have discussions on the topic of "Think Globally, Act Locally: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" which we began on our website funded by the U.S. EPA:  http://www.umuc.edu/gogreen/

We hope that you will share what you do locally to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and then we will post your information as part of our data base on sharing local resources, obtained by users around the world at http://www.umuc.edu/gogreen/local/  

Right now, we have an interactive map that users can click onto in order to view what is available in the counties across the U.S.  Of course, we still have a lot of information to gather, so we hope all of you will help by discussing with us what resources you use to help reduce your global footprint.  We hope to expand our map to a global one, so please post information from all over the world.  I will keep it in a file that will be compiled to come out with our global interactive map.
