Recycling Basics

Recycling is a very simple way to start living a more eco-conscious lifestyle. The average American citizen produces one ton of trash each year. Where in the heck is all of it going once we toss it? A toxic landfill near you? How much energy are we using to produce all of that stuff? Why do we have a ton of stuff we are using much less throwing away? Often though, with few role models in many of our communities and fewer resources, one doesn't know much about recycling. I found an easy to follow recycling primer that covers the when, where and how of reducing trash that goes to landfills. I will also include a recycling link in the Eco-Links section.
