The amount of trash collected in one community is overwhelming local resources to collect and store it. Which is the best approach for the population health nurse to take to help decrease the amount of generated trash?

1. Encouraging use of fewer polluting products.
2. Promoting recycling efforts in the community.
3. Discouraging overuse of materials that generate trash.
4. Educating the community about overbuying household products.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Promoting recycling efforts can decrease the garbage stream, the amount of trash generated, and landfill space. In addition, recycling can promote energy conservation, which reduces use of fossil fuels. Educating the community about overbuying household products does not necessarily mean that garbage generation would decrease. Educating about the use of fewer polluting products or discouraging use of trash-generating materials also does not mean that garbage generation would decrease.
