The worst waste is toxic waste!

One kind of trash that's really bad for you, animals, and the entire Earth, is called "Hazardous Waste". That means that it is poisonous or toxic. Toxicants are in products that you buy every day at the store. Just because products are sold at the store does not mean they are safe! Many of these toxic products we don't really need. When you go shopping, think about what safe products you might use. There are lots of them available now. What begins in your shopping cart as a pile of cleaning supplies, pest-control products, certain paints, or even preservative-treated wood can end up in a toxic waste site. And sometimes the factories that made these products become toxic waste sites as well. Read the labels and you'll see why! Study this entire KSE News to learn ways you can help the Earth solve this dirty problem. There are thousands of toxic waste sites in the U.S. and they might be making us sick.
