Real people, real impact!

 “After taking the Recycling 101 course,
I have a much deeper understanding of
how and why things are recycled, where
to recycle within my local community and
region, and the knowledge to make better
buying decisions to avoid excess waste.

This course helped me not only at home,
but in my work with clients. As a recycler,
I can share what I have learned to help my
community consider what they can do to
increase their impact.”
