VOCABULARY/GLOSSARY
When recycling, reuse, or conversion is implemented on a
community scale or greater, accurate terminology becomes very
important. We will maintain a wordlist here as our site
develops for quick reference by community volunteers and
supporters. We recommend
Terms of Environment: Glossary, Abbreviations and Acronyms for a
master glossary of environmental terms from the U.S. EPA and
The Ultimate Environmental Glossary from EnviroEducation.com
offering a set of Discipline-Specific Glossaries, from wildlife to energy to
Environmental Business Communications.
