Beneficial thing to do. In the interim I am doing a few other things as I can to help.

shopping bags since Jan...not easy! I also taught my students about recycling for over 15 years. They love doing it! My first graders picked up the tiniest pieces of trash all over the school site with such joy and energy. It was like a treat for them. They wanted to do it in place of going to recess! We recycled paper every year and even they knew that plastic and polystyrene (they could spell it) would never "turn back into dirt"/decompose in thousands of years. This book (recycling by Gail Gibbons) was fantastic and I highly rec to adults who want to teach kids about recycling.
