Business and Residential Recycling and Waste Minimization

All across America, children and adults are learning three new R’s: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Episode one of this program describes how companies can divert office, industrial, and manufacturing waste from the solid waste stream, while episode two focuses on residential initiatives. Public support as well as logistics and costs—all common elements of any recycling and minimization plan—are considered. Community education, the key to consensus and high participation rates, is also stressed, and a variety of efforts involving schools, local governments, and businesses are profiled. (50 minutes)
