Happy Earth Day!
A movement that started 50 years ago today is now "the largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than a billion people every year."

The significance remains the same and we still have a lot of work to do. check out the US EPA's website on Earth Day at www.epa.gov/earthday

Our speakers addressed how we can use this opportunity to connect the dots for consumers between placing clean recyclables into their recycling bins and the impact on the supply chain for basic goods and emergency supplies.
Recycling More Important than Ever this Earth Day to Provide Feedstock for New Products and Keep Recycling Supply Chain Healthy
Posted April 21, 2020 on wasteadvantagemag.com

This year, celebrating Earth Day has an expanded meaning, as consumers realize that their act of recycling has a real impact, not only on the long-term health of the planet, but on the here and now, as recycling provides the much-needed feedstock to manufacture products needed every day. “As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, our world is in an unprecedented situation, yet we are seeing that recycling is more important than ever,” said Jason Pelz, Vice President of Recycling Projects for the Carton Council of North America. “We hope that everyone continues to see that recycling helps ensure the recycling supply chain keeps functioning, benefiting the environment and the economy all at once,” said Pelz.
