Climate Change & Environment Agency Wants You: Be an Environmental Superhero

It's time to put on your environmental cape and join the fight against climate change! The Greater New Haven Water Pollution Control Authority is calling on all citizens to do their part in protecting our environment. But don't worry, you don't need superpowers to make a difference. Here are some easy ways you can help:

Reduce your water usage. A leaky faucet can waste up to 2,000 gallons of water per year. Check your faucets and toilets for leaks and have them fixed promptly.
Recycle and compost. Recycling helps to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills, and composting helps to reduce the amount of methane gas that is released into the atmosphere.
Drive less. Walk, bike, or take public transportation whenever possible. This will help to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Eat less meat. Meat production is a major contributor to climate change, so reducing your meat consumption can help to make a difference.
