Life in plastic is actually not fantastic. Today we talk about Recycling. The big, small and in-between about how we can all try more in our recycling efforts and WHY.
In the “What's Facts Got to Do With It? Segment” we explore the history of recycling in the USA and what a journey we are still on. See resources below. Let us know what you think.
Challenge:
Learn about your nearest landfill - where is it? How big is it? Are recycling efforts utilized there?
