A Word About Recycling

Today’s column is taking parts from several items in a recent Resource Recycling newsletter, the first of which talks about quite a bit of money (anyway, in my mind it is).

The Recycling Partnership organization believes, “… $17 billion in funding for the domestic residential recycling sector could increase the national recycling rate to nearly 70%.”

Of course, all that money wouldn’t be spent at one time or in one place. (They also didn’t report where they thought that money might come from… maybe they were hoping it would grow on trees?)
