Recycling

Did you know that 91% of what you put in the recycling (in the US) doesn't get recycled? Crazy crazy. At least it's better than zero but it's not that far off. This isn't to say that you shouldn't recycle — just be mindful of the numbers in the recycle symbols. 1 and 2 are the most easily recycled. The higher numbers get more complicated and are often too difficult for most recycling centers to deal with. It's always good to check with your local facilities and see what is accepted. And of course, be a mindful consumer 😊
