Do you recycle? What if I told you are landfills are overflowing and if we don’t start doing something about the waste we will have it everywhere. How many people read a magazine on a daily basis? How many people pitch it in the trashcan when they are done? How many people drink a water or pop and throughout the day? How many of those people pitch it in the trash can when they are done?

They don’t always know the difference between a worm and a straw.
