The journey starts with creating an account and joining free recycling programs. Once you’re signed up, start collecting hard-to-recycle rubbish!

Consumer Action is a nonprofit fighting for policies that promote financial prosperity and fairness for underrepresented consumers. Last night, they celebrated their 52nd anniversary and paid tribute to long-serving staff, supporters and sponsors. Thankfully, Consumer Action is also an endorser of The Aluminum Association and Can Manufacturers Institute's #RecyclingRefund (i.e., deposit return system) principles for beverage containers. Recycling refunds have a proven track record of benefiting consumers by incentivizing recycling, reducing litter, lowering GHG emissions and providing clean materials to serve as recycled content in new beverage containers. By encouraging more recycling, these programs also create more jobs than when beverage containers are landfilled. Big thanks to Drumfire Public Affairs for partnering with us and MC'ing last night's event. If your company is interested in learning more about how you can be part of the solution, please send me a message (no financial commitment is necessary).

Getting children involved in glass recycling is a great idea! Childhood is the perfect time to build good habits. If kids learn to recycle glass early on, they're more likely to continue throughout their lives. It's also an excellent opportunity to teach children about environmental issues and the impact of waste on the planet. Participating in recycling helps children understand the concept of responsibility—not just for their belongings, but for their community and environment. 🌐 https://lnkd.in/dFruYSMN 📧 [email protected]

This week, I learned valuable lessons from taking out the recycling bin. ♻️🗑️ I put it out, expecting it to be picked up, but it wasn't. Noticed my neighbor's bin was out and not picked up either. At first, I got a bit upset. 😠 But then, I took a deep breath to calm down and decided to double-check the pickup schedule. Turns out, I had the wrong day. Recycling is every two weeks, and it wasn't due yet. Looks like my neighbor just followed my lead and put theirs out too early as well. 😳 This small event taught me valuable lessons: ✅ Always check the facts before getting worked up. It's easy to assume or react quickly. But a simple step back and a quick check can save a lot of unnecessary stress. ✅ It also reminded me how our actions can influence others, even in small ways. So, let's make sure we're leading by good example, starting with the simple things. #LifeLessons #StayCalm #CheckTheFacts #patience
