Subject: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Organic Materials

On average, Americans waste 25 percent of the food they prepare. We throw
away 44 percent of our yard trimmings and over 90 percent of our wood waste.
It's time to be part of the solution.

EPA launched its new organic materials Website. This Website is a great place
for businesses and consumers to find ways to put surplus food, yard trimmings
and wood waste to good use. With information on the Food Waste Recovery
Hierarchy, EPA's GreenScapes program, and wood waste recovery options,
everyone can find a way to be part of the solution.

Help EPA spread the word about finding productive ways to use organics.
Visit the Organic Materials Website at www.epa.gov/organicmaterials today!

Reduce, reuse and recycle your organics today!
