Waste Not Want NotDisposable cameras. Picnic plates. Diapers and wipes. Food containers you can "afford to lose."
As a society, we love convenience. With convenience, unfortunately, comes disposable goods - and a lot of waste product. Want the convenience, but feel guilty about the trash? Recycling is the answer for our disposable society.
It's the "have your cake and eat it, too" solution. And it's more popular than ever. Recycling has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 20 years. Why? Because we love that cake.
We also feel the satisfaction of taking nothing - trash, no less! - and turning it into something of value.
So next time you slip into that cozy polar fleece, take a snooze out in the hammock, or drive over a speed bump, remember - you made that possible. Through recycling. |
