We’re almost halfway through Earth Month, and we’ve loved seeing how Franklin County residents, businesses and communities are recognizing this annual moment-in-time to educate and inspire people to find ways to reduce our carbon footprint. 

This year, we’re encouraging people to think beyond recycling. In fact, reducing and reusing waste are even better ways to lessen our reliance on the landfill. Luckily, we have plenty of ideas to get you inspired and motivated to go beyond recycling and reduce waste.

Check out this fun, animated video that gives you some great ideas on where to start. From buying in bulk to reusing leftovers, we have countless ways to make it even easier to “go green” and create a more sustainable Franklin County for generations to come.

Need more ideas? Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram where we’ll be dropping more videos and tips throughout the rest of the month, and beyond!
