How You Can Help: 1. Spread the word! People need to know how important recycling is. You can start by taking to neighbors, teachers, business and community leaders. Once you get people talking about recycling they'll see that it just makes sense. 2. If your community does not currently recycle, contact your city government and ask why not. Start a petition drive to get your community in a recycling program. 3. Have a recycling drive! Get your community, church group or school to host a recycling drive. Once people see how much money recycling can raise, everybody will want to do it! 4. Education. Ask your local school to have a recycling day to teach kids about the benefits of recycling.
