    Can't believe it's the last week of the Eco-Challenge! But I think we need to challenge ourselves always!

    This week is our regional sales meeting and I hope we can all do our best to make it as eco-friendly as possible! We got some new recycling containers that will help to separate the different recyclables!

    I had dinner with my family on Saturday night and I gave them all of my eco-challenge presentations! They were pretty surprised at some of the facts and all vowed to take better actions for the environment on their behalf!

    I think one of the biggest thing's I've learned over this is how MANY reusable coffee cups go to the landfill. Reusable mugs from here on out!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Recycle Everything I Can
    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    I've learned a lot about the recycling process and what can actually be recycled. The most difficult part of recycling for me is making sure everything is cleaned and sorted.
