Reduse, Reuse & Recycle!

It's become almost trendy, the new cool hip thing to do.

Besides the newest fashions, or the hot new apple product being a hot topic of discussion, more and more people are becoming concerned about the environment-and I like it!  Come to think of it, conserving our resources and recycling materials have not only become a part of daily life, but have become more and more advertised through our culture.

Just yesterday I was shopping at Old Navy with a good friend of mine, and saw a very funny shirt to promote recycling, and to be honest with you, I contemplated purchasing it. Recycling and conserving the use of materials has become more popular, partly attributed to the National Recycling Coalition (NRC's).

The NRC has a strategic plan  the contains five goals to promote their organization, and recycling in general. It consists of the the following goals: the be recognized as the leading national voice on recycling, to serve as a catalyst for constructive dialogue on sustainable raw material management, to advance member's understanding of current and emerging recycling issues, to foster new and innovative recycling solutions through strategic partnerships. and to ensure the NRC's organizational health and viability. 

So although recycling may sporadically appear through clothing stores and pop culture, there are organizational like the NCR that focus their whole business practice to helping the environment. 

the NRC is a great resource for those looking to get more involved, or for more information on efforts to increase recycling and improve the environment already established in communities world wide.
