Tools for Change
Have you ever wanted to tackle a trash issue in your community, such as illegal dumping, littering, open burning or the stockpiling of waste, but have not known where to begin? PA CleanWays, recognizing this all-too-common situation, has created Tools for Change. It's an easy-to-use guidebook that begins with examples of real people, both young and old, who saw the need for change and did something about it.
Often they were amazed at the difference they made by just taking one step at a time.
