I want to begin by first wishing you the very best for a healthy, happy and more sustainable 2019. For me, reflecting on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Day, Jr. (MLK) always begins on January 15th. Not only is this MLK’s actual birthday, but it happens to be my birthday too and I […]

We recently read an article in the Wall Street Journal that begins with an ominous warning: “The U.S. recycling industry is breaking down.” Although most of us don’t realize it, much of the recyclable material like paper and plastic that we generate and collect here in the U.S. for recycling has been exported to China for processing […]
