Use Less Stuff

Use Less Stuff (ULS), a statewide campaign, is simply a way of focusing on source reduction as the most effective way to promote waste reduction, water conservation, pollution prevention and energy conservation. ULS Day was founded by The ULS Report. The campaign is spearheaded by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental, but many other agencies and groups have now joined the ULS educational effort.

Additional Resources

More exciting ULS resources:
The idea behind Use Less Stuff is to bring waste prevention (or source reduction, as it is formally known) to the forefront of public consciousness, during the holiday season and throughout the year. Recycling gets a lot of attention, and although its importance cannot be understated, reducing waste in the first place (using less stuff) is still the number one priority in the war on waste. If we are to significantly reduce pollution and waste, we must emphasize source reduction. Remember that "reduce" is the first R in the EPA slogan, "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!"
