| GGI Principle #2: RECYCLING
|
 Per "the Green Book" by Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas M. Kostigen, if everyone in America simply separated the paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum products from the trash and tossed them into a recycling bin, we could decrease the amount of waste sent to landfills by 75 percent. Currently, it takes an area the size of Pennsylvania to dump all our waste each year.
If you need help in finding out where or how to recycle in your area, please contact Kate at katejupina@gogreeninitiative.org and she will assist you in finding out that information.
