 EARTH   DAY  2000  CD  COVER  CONTEST
              Don't WASTE  Another Day
Recycling and reusing are
two great ways to cut down
on the amount of trash that
is generated. Preventing
waste before it is created is
even better. These actions
are important to the environ-
ment and are going to
become even more signifi-
cant in the third millennium.
By entering this art contest,
you can help EPA promote
waste prevention—and your
design could be displayed on
EPA's CD cover!
