Recycling means taking that little tiny extra step
Posted by Cecilia under: Environment .
Even when a city offers a recycling program for commercial and residential use it still needs “that little tiny extra step” from the citizens themselves.
Having a curbside residential recycling pickup program like Santa Fe, NM is one first step. The other is participation of the citizens, a factor which is not as easy to gauge.
A successful recycling program requires full information from the governmental side about how and what is allowed as recycling waste. At the same time it requires the interest and effort of the residential side to be informed and to use the offered program.
Richard Pitman, a Santa Fe High School teacher, took this “tiny little step” by raising awareness of recycling at his High School.
He essentially started his own recycling program. Now the school works with the city to provide recycling on a weekly basis. His efforts also helped the students to learn about all aspects of recycling.
