COMPANIES LAUNCH RECYCLING EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS

摘要

Several companies and recycling-related organizations began outreach campaigns this fall-many timed to start on America Recycles Day, Nov. 15-to educate the public, especially young people, about the benefits and ease of recycling. The American Chemistry Council's (Washington, D.C.) "Plastics Make It Possible" campaign sponsored a "Recycling RV" that traversed the East Coast for three weeks last fall, from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C, spreading the message, "Don't Be Trashy. Recycle." Stops included the Pennsylvania State University vs. Brown University homecoming game and the Philadelphia Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon. The RV offered visitors a chance to play recycling games, win prizes, learn about the plastic recycling process, take selfies, and see unexpected products made from recycled plastic.
