Saving Citizens that Green Stuff

We all learned in grade school to reuse and recycle. New York State and especially Governor Cuomo are big supporters of environmentally friendly projects.  Since the implementation of “Green Policies” at statewide organizations, New York State has saved more than thirteen million dollars. Reducing paper waste and encouraging recycling are some of the major contributors.

Reducing waste and toxic waste has also had an enormous impact on the environment. Pesticides contain many chemicals that can be beneficial for plants to block from predators, however can hurt the ecosystem. During large rainstorms, these chemicals travel into the waterways causing a disruption in the stable ecosystem.

The simple concept of recycling and reducing waste is a simple solution that cause had a huge impact. Reducing copy paper by more than forty percent since 2008 has saved taxpayers 27.4 million dollars.  Recycling rates are at their highest levels ever at a very respectable seventy-one percent.

Reducing a little over a small period of time and there seems to be no slowing down.
