green it yourself: recycling center
Posted by: Michelle on November 3rd, 2008
Only about half of all paper gets recycled here in the US and only a third of plastic bottles. That means a huge amount of usable resources are simply going to waste in our already overflowing landfills. So we have to step up our efforts! One solution is to make recycling easier on yourself with a rollout, under-the-sink recycling center that makes recycling so painless you might actually enjoy it. At the very least, you’ll appreciate having a simple system for sorting all your glass, plastic, and paper if you live someplace where you have to separate your recycling.
