We've all become very accustomed to the phrase, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,especially those of us who have to walk quite a ways to take the recycling out. In the United States recycling is common among households, businesses, and schools, but what about other countries. I recently came across an article that was outlining Jamaica’s plan for environmental preservation. The second step in the three step process is to expose the public to recycling centers. This is an effort to promote the separation of garbage in homes. The article explains that 61 percent of garbage that is brought to landfills could have been recycled. So offering a public recycling center is a great way to educate the public.

Do you recycle? My hope is that 61 percent of your trash is being recycled, NC State makes is easy!
