Ohio is one of the top contenders (per capita) with unnecessary waste in our landfills. Big cities much like Columbus, with its high traffic and many factories, continue to contribute to air pollution. Typically seen as "smog" and at times leading to unsafe air quality. Ohio is also a major farming state. Animal farms, more so than crops, are another leading cause to the greenhouse effect. Through recycling programs done at work and home, ride sharing/carpooling, walking/biking more, and moving more towards a plant predominant diet; every individual has the ability to make a change starting today. These small changes help make a big difference in our day-to-day living. Less trash, better health, happier environment. Cleaner air, reduced risk of some cancers, and overall, the feeling of doing something good for yourself or others. These are all benefits we experience from following an ecofriendly lifestyle!
